The Corporation

Five of us *enjoyed* watching "The Corporation". It is actually a very entertaining movie, with a lot of funny soundbites from the 1950's and 60's extolling the benefits of corporate power. Michael Moore is in it, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and a very interesting CEO of a formerly polluting carpet company, named Ray Anderson, fondly referred to as "the carpet guy". This guy seems to have had an enlightenment experience, and has changed his company to help move towards an environmentally sustainable world. If people like him can change so profoundly, I think there is hope for the world. We must reach people's hearts.
I also saw "Weapons of Mass Deception", Danny Schecter's film on the Iraq War as shown through the distorting eyes of the media. Afterwards, James M made this profound comment in regard to fighting against the neo-con's takeover by manipulation of fears:

"We need to stop fighting against what we can't defeat, and embrace what can't be defeated".

For me, the top undefeatable energy is love, followed closely by truth and fairness ( a kinder word than justice).
http://www.thecorporation.com/ is an activist tool, with interactive discussion on whether to reform, regulate, or rewrite the structure of corporations. They held an online debate in which over 800 logged in, (video clips at website). They are working on an action agenda of how we can help:

What Do We Do Now?

"Whether or not you've been part of a DVD House Party and debate, or if you've just seen the film -- we really want your feedback around the issues and around the three "R's. Tell us what you think: Please fill out our online feedback form. We will be using all this information we collect to formulate a Framework for Action document around Corporate Harm Reduction and using it to fuel future campaigns. "

I'm ordering the 2 DVD set of "The Corporation", which has more interviews and action ideas.
