If people would wake up, ignore the advertisements and fancy corporate slogans, and see exactly how screwed they are, I think they might ditch the corporate culture, but of course that would also entail ridding themselves of the second great American pastime, that of accumulating stuff. As a former stuff-accumulator extraordinaire, I understand how hard it can be, but if you are willing to get off the corporate grid so to speak, it is a very liberating experience. I for one was tired of being a slave to corporate America and it’s ultimate pursuit of greed. I say to hell with them, and so can anyone else, but I think it takes a leap of faith that few are brave enough to make. When I left my former job I was well on my way to making $100,000/year, now I will be lucky to see even half of that again. Yet, at the end of the day, I couldn’t be happier doing something that I love to do and knowing that my efforts are not being wasted on making some fat-cat-pompous-windbag-who-couldn’t-pour-piss-out-of-a boot-if-the-directions-were-printed-on-the-heel, look good so that they can earn all the accolades.
