What I'm thinking #1

In South Park's episode Die, hippie, die a group of "know-it-all college hippies" complain about the evil corporations, claiming many things should be changed for good and in order to make their voice be heard, organize a music festival in South Park. Although initially joins them, Stan later notices that those college hippies do nothing to take down the corporations or take actual actions to change the world: "Maybe instead of complaining about corporations being selfish, we should look at ourselves. I mean, is there anything more selfish than doing nothing but getting high and listening to music all day long?"


Companies are not evil/good. They're just full of people like you and me, driven by the same selfishness than you and me. So think about it a moment: are corporations the actual problem?
Perhaps it's something else.
