Some more stuff to think about.

Always looking for reasons to believe that we should regain control of our own lives, I stumbled across this... http://www.pushhamburger.com/criminal.htm is where to find the rest of the story...The majority of Americans have been duped.  Be willing to admit your mistakes.  We aren't perfect, and "going with the crowd" is a good way to ignore those mistakes.  The more peole that admit their mistakes, the more people we will have to bring this criminal government to its knees.  Your mistakes are like little fish in a big pond.  The mistakes by the government and corporationsare giant sharks in this same pond...who pays the price?  Us. 

 

While the 1990s was a decade of booming markets and booming profits, it was also a decade of rampant corporate criminality.

There is an emerging consensus among corporate criminologists.

And that emerging consensus is this: corporate crime and violence inflicts far more damage on society than all street crime combined.

The FBI estimates, for example, that burglary and robbery -- street crimes -- costs the nation $3.8 billion a year.

Compare this to the hundreds of billions of dollars stolen from Americans as a result of corporate and white-collar fraud.

Health care fraud alone costs Americans $100 billion to $400 billion a year.

The savings and loan fraud -- which former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh called "the biggest white collar swindle in history" -- cost us anywhere from $300 billion to $500 billion.

And then you have your lesser frauds: auto repair fraud, $40 billion a year, securities fraud, $15 billion a year -- and on down the list.

Recite this list of corporate frauds and people will immediately say to you: but you can't compare street crime and corporate crime -- corporate crime is not violent crime.

Unfortunately, corporate crime is often violent crime.

 

 

The FBI estimates that, 19,000 Americans are murdered every year.

Compare this to the 56,000 Americans who die every year on the job or from occupational diseases such as black lung and asbestosis and the tens of thousands of other Americans who fall victim to the silent violence of pollution, contaminated foods, hazardous consumer products, and hospital malpractice.

These deaths are often the result of criminal recklessness. They are sometimes prosecuted as homicides or as criminal violations of federal laws.

And environmental crimes often result in death, disease and injury.

I hope this leads you to go to website I copied this from.  The worst cliche in the world seems to be, "That's life."   "That's life" should refer to the common dangers that all living entities on this planet endure.  A tree who can not hold its branches against the wind.  Oranges that can't survive an early freeze in Florida.  A squirrel who doesn't quite know how to stay out of the automobile's path.  In our case, losing a loved one to accident or natural occurence.
