Corporations are Taking Over

Well if you did not believe that corporate America was taking over the World, I think you will now! I read Phil's posting "Comcast and After Downing Street" and could believe that Comcast could actually get away with purposefully censoring someone's email.

The posting states that Comcast Cable Company was preventing anyone using its email services from receiving an email with "www.afterdowningstreet.org" in the body of the email. At first I thought that this must be some sort of mistake from spam software, but after reading various websites it is clear that this was not a mistake.

Now if the United States Post Office chose not to give people specific pieces of mail the country would go nuts. If a direct mail piece from President Bush did not get delivered the Post Office would be under federal investigation. But of course because the forbidden email was information about the War in Iraq that does not favor the president, nothing has happened.

I think corporate America really is taking over our world!
