I think the problem is, is that most of *us* are moronic ridiculuous idiots when compared to the people who sway the opinion of the masses (aka. the moronic ridiculuous idiots). We're just not smart enough to fight this sort of thing and the big companies already have a head start that's larger than our lifespan. Until we smarten up, 90% of our brains will still be totally filled by bad information leading to incorrect conclusions leading to ineffective counter-action. Any kind of activism is *never* as well organised as a corporation and generally doesn't have as large a life-span. In fact I'll go as far as to say that activism, activist groups, or individuals are pretty much the tools of the corporations. In short, we're like bacteria trying to wage war with the Sun, we're not smart enough.
Now if you pronounce Gaul with a vulgar latin accent it rhymes with owl, and owls give a hoot so they don't pollute. so what's really being said is that Nike's attempt to pollute our tiny little useless minds is pissing off the owls.
Yes Napster is racist and so am I. In fact I think people in general should be abolished, but that's just a dream. In the meantime I think Disney had every right to judge us morally, they have more money, and that's what you really need, more money. And none of that funny looking money either.
Of course it's sinister, but that's what happens when you let the sort of people who want to really rule the world (you know, like napolean, or hitler) go about doing it. No solution though, I don't think anyone's figured out how to stop this particular kind of nonsense without behaving exactly like the perpetrators. Like to stop the baby-killing CIA who breaches everyone's privacy on a daily basis you'd probably have to breach the CIA's privacy on a daily basis, find out which of them had babies, and kill the babies.

Anyone have an alternative plan of action?
