Iranian Missles + Russian Defense + Hindenburg Omen + Bear Market/Collapse + Oil Fog + Election Fog ----> Let stew until October (with political surprises, and stock market witching hours) then divide by neo-cons and what do you get ???? I don't know - I'm really asking!

Is the Corporation a Citizen or individual as per the state? According to Robert Riech’s recent book, corporations are citizens. The organization form called a corporation are key each of the elements of the tensions in the title.

This is not a rant against the machine. Nor is it praise for the success for capitalism. Let’s invent a new term that perhaps better expresses the notion. “Corporatism” or “Corporacrhy”– It differs from the “Oligarchy” in that the single physical beings in an Oligarchy are replaced with the single entity Corporate Citizen. It differs from capitalism in that the forces bigger and different.

The entrepreneur works in an capitalistic environment. In corporatism, the entity creates the environment. Perhaps it is similar to that of the Gods of Olympus in ancient Greece.

Well, the point of this writing is that just like our Governmental system is failing in many respects under the Bush Administration version of Representative Democracy and the concept of Unitary Executive, I would suggest that “Corporatism” is failing the individual.

Capitalism is still working and is an underpinning of Corporatism. Capitalism is a good thing.
Capitalism is not a part of the oil/gas issue because there is no anaylsis that says what is the cause of the spike in Gas since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Capitalism is the local gas station raising his prices because he knows he can. But I keep hearing that there is no profit from the gas, it is all in the adjoining convenience store where the source of profit. And the blame shifting goes on.

Something is failing. I don't want to be ranting for no reason. I have seen many versions of the the Phila. Eagles "Miracle in the Meadowlands". Things can change. But it worth remembering that the "Miracle" is the exception to the common - most typical or logical outcome.
