Terri: Why is the author attacking capitalism?
Chris: Because capitalism itself attacks human dignity.
Terri: I disagree: it is the least tyrannical economic system.
Tim: The whole equation needs to change – if money matters more than humans
or wildlife, no system will have long term sustainibilty.
Invasion Target - an art work by T Newfields

Invasion Target


Imagine a country without Coca Cola or Starbucks,
A land free of shopping mall chains.

What would a region be like without Exxon or Shell?
Or area be like if Mitsui and Mitsubishi became inane?

Imagine a place without Microsoft or Apple Computer
and community free of Intel, Time-Warner, and AT&T.

What would a land be land without Unilever or Nestle republics
in which people shared the fruits of their labor equitably?

Imagine a realm where Ronald McDonald and Ronald Reagan were pure fiction
or the Michelin Man and Colonel Sanders existed only in parody.

What would happen if such an abode were actually on this planet?
Why ask the obvious? Every moment lost equals lost revenue:
to protect corporate interests, superpowers must invade . . . .
