The really big issue right now is the extreme result of the right-wing mania to privatize everything: we are now privatizing the MILITARY. Look at the abuses that are just now coming out: we farm out military duties such as security, and interrogation, to private companies: who is accountable? An employee is accountable ultimately to STOCKHOLDERS. Quarterly PROFIT. Don't you see a problem with this?? Torture an Iraqi, lose your job. What's next: the Shell Division, the Mobil Recon Battalion, the Chevron-Texaco Armored Brigade?
