I'm coming to believe that the legalization of the corporation as an "individual" entity is the worst thing that ever happened in the U.S. Legal system
It truly is a bad situation despite the good that exists in the country and services provided by the government. As with most things it is good and bad at the same time.

This is certainly the way it looks like from the outside. I have recently been wondering why consumer organisations in USA seems so little successful and seem to have so little popular support. I have been wondering why, since it's typically issues that affects a lot of people, but this would go some way to explain it - apart from the diversity and heterogenity of the USA society.
BTW, sounds like you have seen the documentary "The Corporation"
PS, Kenny: It's "Ea" not "EA" - it's a first name
