Simply put, it just means the corporation is a person and he dictates the basic policy structure through the lobby and to the government. The government then acts on that corporation (person's behalf). Profit is the number one motivator. The harmony they sell, the patriotism, is just a small part of keeping the whole thing together. It's not an evil conspiracy. It's just what happens, historically speaking. In a real sense then, it can be said that we are no longer a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. Well, that's not necessarily true now is it? I suppose in some ways television is the thing that keeps everything together and broken apart so beautifully. Without the illusion, we have nothing of what we think we have and everything we don't.

If things get tight, drive to the desert. Park your car and play your favorite songs, alone. Look up and do one of two things: pull a trigger or pull yourself away from the trouble... most of which is in your head and quit trying to impress people who don't know you and could not possibly care about you. Because no matter how big and strong and powerful in social status you get, remember the desert and your place within the cosmic spectrum.

The only place on earth where you are going to see and feel anything is in the world of art. This is a big, beautiful world that includes music from all genres, sculpture, animation, you name it. And within the deeper senses, one can find absolute intoxication without ever having to drink one drop of alcohol. I swear you can see an artist, you can hear him or her, speak to you right from the very beginning. There are those who try to be different and succeed and then you have the successful ones that bypass the social meaning of success and defer it to a personal one.
