My opinion on the matter. We're not living in candy land, the governments and corporations have proven time and time again that when it comes to the big issues that matter, they dont have societies bests interests in mind. I wish I could trust them, but I think it would be pretty ignorant to do so. Profits, control, and power. These are the prime-movers of modern society...very sad.
This is the same line of thinking that has me believing there's a conspiracy to everything, it's just a question to what extent and what ends I'm willing to entertain the thought. Everyone is out to make a buck for themselves. At this point govt's and corporations work together to fulfill their personal interests with little care for the greater whole, the question is how far are they willing to go to fulfill those interests.
