Invasion Target: Some thoughts on Corporate Colonialism

	Imagine a country without Coca Cola or Starbucks –
	a land free of corporate monstrosities.

	What would a world be like without Exxon or Shell?,
	in which no one knew of Mitsui, Oji, or Mitsubishi?

	Imagine a place without Microsoft or Monsanto
	& community free from Intel, Time-Warner, or AT&T.

	What would a land be without Unilever or Nestle
	in which labor costs were shared equitably?

	Can you imagine a place where
	Ronald McDonald & Ronald Reagan were mere fiction
	or Colonel Sanders & Captain Morgan existed only in parody?

	What would happen to such a place?
	Why ask the obvious?

	Each moment is LO$T REVENUE:
	to protect corporate interests, 
	prompt invasion is due!!


Terri:  Why is the author attacking capitalism?

Kris:  (coughing) Because capitalism attacks human dignity.

Terri: (frowning) I disagree: it's the least tyrannical economic system. Unhindered 
        markets is what the world needs!

Tim:   As Kate Raworth aptly points out, our current economic models are too myopic. 
       We need to re-envision the role of the economy in relationship with the overall 
       eco-sphere and society.
