Thanks Wal-Mart (et al) for doing
your share to help dissolve the family unit.
Me, to Fred Zilch
+Fred Zilch Yeah, but that - your
"dissolve the family unit" is traceable back centuries,
and, for the profits of land speculating realty
agencies/corporations/elite-dynasties, of the late 19th century, who
'invented' the nuclear family unit, simply because it was/is the
smallest number of 'family' members they/we could still call 'a
family', and squeeze into the smallest parcel of land. What we now
regard as the nuclear family [in Australia, the 1/4 acre] home. These
tiny pieces of land, sold for the maximum profit of the vendor.
THAT, is the MAJOR crime, and gives
life to the likes of Walmart, and even - take a moment to think on
this - even the whole auto industry survives and [used to] prosper on
our needing to live as spread apart as they can force us to. As
against living in more communal - er - communities - with less need
to travel to work shop and play. rah rah rah, you know the rest...!
I agree with your line, against the
corporation generally.
And they're right in there too!
Because the smaller the family unit is, the less satisfied people
become, through deprivation of the larger 'extended family' social
environment, etc., to provide warmth, happy society, intimacy,
knowing of others, especially those near and around us, and trust,
etc.
Where do unhappy people go to escape
the incurable dilemmas of personal unhappiness with the fucked
culture? WE GO SHOPPING!
And, the personification of
possessions, ie., commodities, such that, every nuke family has to
have their own utensils, kitchen, fire, shed [man's gotto have a
SHED!] lawn mower, motor car, household goodies and accouterments.
What the post is actually going to, is
not merely Walmart, of course, but it's taking a subtle shot, [I'm
assuming, by the rebellious look of the hippie!] as are you, perhaps,
at the whole fecking CRAPitalist system.
[I reckon I seen that Hippie Dude on
tele, Marching/PROTESTING at the OCCUPY WALL STREET Events back
then?]
What say you go put it to Congress?
Seein' as you're closer? ;-} hohoho...
However..., as this is a larger problem
than little 'walmart' [!], and is clearly a 'cultural' problem, of
such a scale that you and your mob - no matter how big - wouldn't
scratch the surface of Congress, etc., there has to be another
approach?
As you see, Atheism is growing at a
rapid rate, and from my small window, globally.
This has to be along a similar line and
scale of the world's peoples' general discontent with their
politicians, and with the mainstream [western] religions, and that
people are finally connecting the two arenas of bullshit - politics
and religion - as being but in the same bucket.
I reckon the final straw, so to speak,
on the peoples' [donkey's] back, is when, in the most capitalist ie
corporate-controlled nations, and markets', the masses of consumers
finally wake up to the connection between the politicians, religion,
and - crapitalism.
If Atheism is to grow exponentially, as
I reckon it will - thanks internet! - then perhaps it will also
inherit this reality, of challenging the whole bag of
religio-politico-crapitalism in one?
Food for thought.....
No..., I don't 'Tweet'!
But accept that I maybe a twit?

I agree ...
hence my wording, "your share" so as to include Wal-Mart
with the rest of the greedy conglomerate.
Personally I
waved the white flag; expatriating from the U.S. to Central America.
No Best Buy, Starbucks, Wal-Mart or McDonalds, but lots of family
values.
