Taking Back your Own Back Yard

Oh the last blog. Sad day. Sad moment. As much as I though I wouldn't like this whole blogging thing, I actually find it pretty cool. Hopefully in the future I will blog again, perhaps on something other than propaganda stories from silly texts. Just kidding. The texts, and the class especially, were all together really cool. This class was probably one of my most enjoyable classes at West Chester thus far. Professor isnt so bad either. So for this last chapter of Toxic Sludge, I wanted to concentrate on the section of "Too much Democracy?" The line that reads "The values the dominate our lives today are corporate, not democratic values" is a very powerful statement that I completely agree with. As a society, we are more concerned with wealth and profit than we are with community outreach and non profit organizations. What has happened to our democratic values? Do we even care about the people anymore? Yes, we care about the people, but only if it helps ourselves first.
