Perhaps it's just up to us to find out how things will work out. I would be the last person ever
to say that computers or CDs weren't nice things to have. But I would contend that we should resist
injustice and overweaning arrogance, two factors that
McBurgers reek of. Humans are remarkably resourceful. In some ways the corporations rob us of that.
