- What an entirely frightening prospect. I will not give up my democratic
- rights, compromised as they may be, to such economic voting without a
- fight. As to controlling large corps by becoming a share holder, there
- are too many shares to have an effect and if the policies that am I am
- trying to affect relate to damage the company is doing to others, then
- that method should not be necessary.

- Do you find such control by mega-corps any less fightening than
- the distant political control that you complain about?
