Political Analysis and Corporate Greed

Although this may not be completely on topic it is an area that I feel needs to be addressed within this country and one that I am very passionate about. After our readings for the past couple week, I am the most fond of Ms. Bennett. I liked that reading because it had a focus on corporate greed and how we need to regulate these power players. As i said in prior posts we need to watch the play makers in the realm of the scientists who are they backed by may determine what claims they make. As you may recall Professor Flower one of my essays last year was on this topic entitled, " Derailing the money train". To start off the essay I quoted Woodrow Wilson in saying, " The laws of this country do not prevent the strong from crushing the weak...". In this essay the focus is on corporatism and referred a lot to the ideas of Thomas Hartmann, Bill Moyers ,and Lappe; which obviously you are familiar with. As we talk about these actor networks I see these players also being able to tie into the debate we have currently in class. In this day and age our political judgement and awareness is clouded by so many claims being made by all types of diff. people and players. We see the sciences becoming more mainstream and having greater participation by the public. In doing so the actor networks become bigger and even more complicated; tougher to sift through the b.s. you might say. Through all of this coming about we must remember who is connected and why certain ideas are being pushed in the manner they are and why certain assemblages are grouped together. There are no coincidence's so the transmission of these ideas must be looked at with everyone's eyes open. Someone once told me to believe half of what you've seen and none of what you've heard.
