Well, to be completely honest (and a bit unrealistic) you _do_ have a choice. Simply refuse to use anything electrical. Yes, I know it's unrealistic but it IS a choice. Also, people could refuse to work for power plant. Yes, this would take sacrifice and a group effort and it will never happen, but if enough people cared, it would. Heck, you really don't have to go as far as unplugging yourself from the grid, simply outlaw nuclear power plants. Yes, they have lobbyists with huge amounts of money to spend - but at the end of the day, if enough people made it known that so and so wouldn't get reelected - he would do it.
I guess my main point is - people CAN take the power back from coporations - if they work together - but there will never be enough cohesion for that to happen. That isn't the corps fault - it's our fault. -RC > -----Original Message----- > From: Todd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 4:26 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Another reason for me not to like the government ... > > > Well, see the one little problem is, we don't have any other > choice here. > We either go without power, or buy from the nuclear plant. > It's not like > there's a competing power plant on every corner ;) > > Hmm ..
