They will accept donations from any corporation no matter how many laws it has broken, how many people it has given cancer to, how much tax money is has failed to pay... no matter how many politicians it has bribed. If Adolf Hitler or Augusto Pinochet or any other criminal were to show up and offer them a million dollars, they'd take it, LIKE A BUNCH OF WHORES.
Well then maybe he or she shouldn't have signed up in the first place? Or been a conscientious objector perhaps?
Desertion I think is a great idea. They say Thailand is wonderful this time of year.
If you're only working to further the corporate interests (be those oil companies or biotech companies, which are working to force Iraqi farmers to use their biotech seeds-- by force of law), then you really should have no shame in just abandoning your post, slipping into Turkey and walking into the nearest BBC office to declare "I will not be a slave to corporations that have rigged my democracy and rendered it impotent".
Corporations are 'pressuring' public officials every day, often using bribes. The World Bank is well-known for bribing officials, and that info comes from the former head of the World Bank. Corporations are and the banks that represent their interests are always bribing people. Just look at Coca-Cola, charged with assassinating union leaders in Columbia: the assassins were govt-paid paramilitary agents, who set up a military camp outside of a factory after the assassination to intimidate the workers. When you look behind the veil of TV and the other media, what you see is sickening, frightening to some, and outrageous. After all, just look at how Bush stole the 2004 election in order to help the corporate interest: www.electionfraud2004.org.
He's an investigative journalist with the BBC. Journalists don't have to identify their sources. Furthermore before he was a journalist he was an investigator for the US govt looking into racketeering. The information that comes his way is often confidential documents.
It's been proven, if facts matter to you.
FAIR has shown an overwhelming rightwing bias.
But I suppose you don't care for facts, you prefer to live a superficial life.

A poem for you:
He fears heresy
Would never put GUI in there
Repeats tired cliches
Because what other type of person would cheer that his party rigged the elections and thereby attacked the core of democracy?
FYI, Democrats were also complicit in rigging the elections of 2004.
True true, but my post was about an American company perpetrating something in America which the American EPA will never do anything about because its run by a corporate polluter.
And that is thanks to little boy Bush, who stole the elections of 2000 and 2004 and whose Republican operatives committed felonies in order to put him in office, for which there is ample hard evidence.
It is in the very nature of bloated software that its complexity increases faster than the number of source lines, and that the vulnerabilities and bugs increase perhaps even faster than that.
Oh, so just because you don't like these people means they're wrong?
As for EPA limits, GW Bush, who stole the elections of 2000 and 2004, has quietly nullified all of the environmental regulations put in place over the past 20 years.
And we never heard about it on the evening news, because the US media is run by rightwingers.
I agree with the facts, and it is the facts that people like that prefer to supress. Now, it may be that once in a blue moon they find that realism suits their propagandistic purposes, but who cares, when 95% of the time they are lying?
The Economist is brought to you buy the same people who think labor unions are evil, privatization always works (they never mention it only works for the rich), and the WTO/IMF/WorldBank unholy triad deserves to enslave poor countries with massive loans OK'd by bribed leaders.
If Linux were a girlfriend, corporations would walk up to you, push you aside and tell you she's his girl, not yours.
The corporate culture encourages bullying.
Let's see now, corporations are authoritarian, expansionist, competitive; whereas fascism was authoritarian, expansionist, and militarily competitive.
Hmm.... could corporations be the new fascism? Oh but wait, fascism doesn't entertain the kids with men dressed up like clowns like McDonalds does. I forgot.
Last time I checked, people who had more money than I do weren't any better than me. Usually they're worse, much worse. Money makes them deranged.

So if a thief steals your wallet, you suggest helping him hold on to it rather than pass it on to the mafia who will steal your identity. What a poor ass debater you are.
Hi Wil, As you may know the GATS treaty has as one of its purposes that of extending intellectual property laws to have worldwide enforceability, so that for instance a patent holder in Canada for an AIDS drug will be able to prevent a consumer in Niger from paying any less than a set price. Which means that poor people may find themselves out of luck. Presumably the same will be true for consumers of software, music, films, TV shows etc. And of course there is also that 6-page addendum to GATS that Greg Palast exposed (GATS VI.4) that sets up a non-democratic Panel that has veto power over all parliaments, the US congress, and ever other public body, which smacks of the "One World Government" that various academics and others people have been warning us about (not tha the US media would ever mention it). So, I wonder if you, as someone who is surely receiving royalty checks for your Star Trek TV work, yet is a proponent of Linux, ever feel at all conflicted over these issues; and do you feel at all compelled to help educate the public about these issues? Thanks, plinius
For those of you who don't know, there REALLY IS an international conspiracy to limit people's freedoms. Globalization according to the WTO/IMF/WorldBank is not about giving cellphones to Eskimos, it's about preventing sick people from getting patented drugs at a penny less than the Corporations allows. Things get really scary when you look at GATS VI.4, which creates a non-democratic Panel that will have veto power of parliaments, the US Congress, everything. It's real and it's very, very bad -- unless you hate freedom.

Like Raytheon, which is profiting from the Iraq war and has polluted silicon valley
Like IBM which helped the Nazis kill Jews and gypsies
Like so many other CORPORATE CRIMINALS.
