RE: Corporate Masters By The Lovecats () at 15:31:26 on February 23 URL: | User Info You may have a desire to live in a world when an employee's job security and compensation are in no way linked to the quality of the product or service produced by said employee, but having had numerous dealings with the post office, the department of motor vehicles, and the bureaucracy of a large southwestern university that shall go nameless, I think capitalism has an awful lot going for it. Society works best when forces are in balance. When power swings too far in either direction, misery ensues. By the way, I re-checked the episode last night. Just before we see the minister talking about how happy the workers are, Chakotay says of the planet "Officials are not being very helpful." Official probably means government.

Whether one submits to the will of capital or government makes not the slightest bit of difference, except for the particular wording of ambient government and/or corporate propaganda. The best that anyone can EVER hope for is to make ones self useful to the powers that be. In my case it is the aerospace industry. As for biological offspring, hah! I make pretty good money at the moment, but there is no telling when my job will be shipped overseas to an Indian or Chinese PhD who will do it for a fraction of my salary. Taking care of myself is iffy enough, let alone a spouse and 2.3 children. As for my politics? Well, I am not going to expound them here as I have no intention of trying to overturn 56 years of enemy propaganda on TrekWeb. Za dom spremni! Regards; D.
