A couple of years ago I published a
letter to my daughter that compared the traditional mindset that used to permeate American businesses and corporations and compared it to the contemporary globalist/corporatist model. Twenty years from now I want her to read it; I'm concerned that what made us a great nation that cared for its citizens first will not only be gone but also be forgotten. Or worse, it may be revised out of our books and publications altogether as corporatism and secular humanism consume this world's reality like some virulent, mindless amoeba.
Today, I came across this:
Broken promises: International Herald Tribune"The new and very recent Anglo- American business orthodoxy dictates the pursuit of profit without regard for social cost or obligation. But as recently as the 1950s in the United States, the "stakeholder" corporate model was generally accepted in business schools and in practice. It holds that while the corporation exists to make profits, it is also responsible for providing secure jobs and just remuneration for its employees, and for advancing the economic interests of the nation and "the good of society."
It clearly is not an outmoded or demonstrably inefficient model, since it is currently widely accepted in Japan. It is, for example, the corporate model followed by the Toyota corporation, the most successful automobile manufacturer in the world. At this moment, the once globally dominant American automobile industry is nearing collapse (and attempting to jettison the last vestige of its own past acceptance of social responsibility, its contractual health- care obligations)."
Note to Katie:
When you are old enough to read and take my efforts here to heart, I pray that there still remains some vestige of the marvelous legacy your ancestors placed in my care for you, your children and your children's children. I'm ashamed to say that I feel as though I've let you all down. But I will not take all of the blame. I came of age and raised you at a time in which lies, obfuscations and deceit have too-much ruled this nation. Moral absolutes are mocked and broken while those of us who still believe such things are prerequisite for human greatness are ignored and punished for speaking out.
The other day a good, Conservative friend said that if he could change anything, he'd make Congress and the Executive Branch relocate every ten years or so. Our leaders live in an insulated fairy-land called "The Beltway." It is to our grave detriment that they just don't get out much. The insulation turns too many of them in to cloistered asshats who are more beholden to soul-less monstrosities we call "Corporations" than they are to flesh-and-blood citizens.
They are building a new religion:
Corporatist Secular Humanism. For them there is no past, no legacy, no stewardship and no honor. And there surely is no concern for the greater good for future generations. All they crave the next orgasmic injection of profit without regard for whom they crush to create it. They dumb us down, erode our sovereignty, balkanize us and break us into incoherent distracted masses, then they use political correctness to shut us up if we notice the problems they have fomented.
Don't ever be cowed by these venal bastards. Fight back.
