    Do you agree with this image? (PIC)



    Or, given the fact that we live in the Age of Web 2.0, do you agree that people are becoming less and less dependent on "canned" media and are quite active content producers/influence directors themselves?

      No the rivalry is all a charade.

      Every sector is bedfellows with every other sector.

      If you oppose MEDIA, GOVERNMENT will step in. etc. etc.

        Not sure about rivalry seems more like hierarchy

          Feudalism never really went away even though history is saying it did. It just changed titles.

          Looks pretty similar:

            OY, how would your affiliate software go polling Streamate with an XML query to get the surfer stats for my white label CamGirls.com?

            They track all the sales with my sub affiliate links CAMGIRLS.COM?AFNO=1-100

                      It really does come down to 99% or 1%. It's a great illustration. A great illustration of the victim mentality adopted by those who need an excuse because they think 1 is greater than 99.

                      For those who know that 99 is bigger than 1, a more accurate illustration would show the 51% lining up to eat the government shit while 49% are choosing from Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, and Macaroni Grill.

                      You CHOOSE the companies you do business with. You CHOSE Obama, lining up to eat his shit. 51% asked for Pelosi, Barry, and Blagojevich. Stop choosing the politician who offers you the sweetest turds and start picking ones that leave your plate alone and go get yourself a nice juicy steak.

                          It's funny you cite Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, and Macaroni Grill, because if you "choose" between those you aren't really making a choice at all, you're simply going with the same shit they shove down your throat. It is the idea of corporate homogeny which has largely sucked the uniqueness out of the U.S. where every town you go to has large parts which look exactly the same and offer exactly the same crap.

                          It's not your choice, it's the choices you are given.

                              People are idiots and eat shit for fun, most are so blind to opportunities they actually believe the bs about other people controlling them.

                                  I agree the US has major kick ass cuisine, but you won't find it in any restaurant chains.

                                  Best food imo is where the cultural identity is the strongest as in New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles etc.

                                  On the other hand there are some awesome restaurants in Vancouver, a few that i really miss.

                                    I'm eating a breakfast taco. I drive by give different types of restaurants within a mile of here after leaving the supermarket. So in the last 30 minutes I've seen probably a thousand choices for breakfast. Just in oatmeal alone, I had probably twenty different choices offered by comoanies (corporations) - instant fruit and cream, brown sugar and cinnamon, regular long cook, once minute cook, brand name, generic, organically grown ...

                                    One item I bought at the grocery store was bananas, 33 cents per pound. The bananas got here from central america because a group of people got together pooling their money and formed a corporation to buy the $10 million ship that carries bananas and other fruits here. They bought the ship from another bunch of people who pooled their resources and formed a corporation to build the ships. Another group got together and their corporation built the supermarket that offers all of these choices.

                                    Let's say I want breakfast and there are no corporations to build ships. This area doesn't grow oats or bananas. Our soil grows cotton and watermelon. Cotton isn't tasty, so I guess it would be watermelon for breakfast, every day.

                                      I can choose to go to the Olive Garden because I like their breadsticks or I can choose to go to Rosetti's because I like their chicken marsala or I can even stay home and make spaghetti.

                                      Yep. Still a choice.

                                        It sounds like you have made the choice not to eat at chain restaurants. I make that same choice.

So in the last 30 minutes I've seen probably a thousand choices for breakfast. Just in oatmeal alone, I had probably twenty different choices offered by comoanies (corporations) - instant fruit and cream, brown sugar and cinnamon, regular long cook, once minute cook, brand name, generic, organically grown ...
                                            I used to live in a town that had an amazing vibrant downtown scene with clubs and restaurants run by locals.
                                            After the multinationals came in and set up their strip malls with all the same restaurants and stores they set up in strip malls all over the country, that cool and vibrant downtown scene died and left nothing but closed shops and for sale signs.

                                            Now that town looks like any other town, full of the same shit owned by a few huge corporations like every other town.

                                            See what I'm saying?

                                                  I think this image is over exaggerated. To answer your question, people would be less dependent on media if they watched less media. To be creative themselves, they have to have talent. You see, "citizen" is just a registration on paper. Whether a person has a creative brain or not is a different matter.

                                                    but the citizens own the corporations.....
                                                    so they are eating their own shit after it's been shitted through politicians and the media.

                                                      An individual politician has no power, it takes Obama 6 months to suggest a Bill and cross his fingers.

                                                      There's no Trillionaire Owner of the Banks making money and controlling the world. A Bank makes 2% pa on home loans after inflation and 90% of that goes to premises and staff.

                                                      It's more like this, but none of you noticed the transition to Anonymous MARTIAL LAW
