The Corporation - The Movie

Thanks to my daughter, I recently got to watch this movie. It is called The Corporation and it is one of those documentaries that are so filled with thought, you just can't help but think about the message. It has the potential to be a real paradigm shifter. What I didn't really enjoy about it is that it made me listen to Michael Moore, whom up until this point I had been able to ignore without really trying.

The message is powerful and convincing. Of particular interest to myself was the information on the biosphere and the additives that are put into the cows that produce milk sold for human consumption in the USA.

I like the biosphere info because it echoes what Dr. David Suzuki and other specialists in environment/ecology issues have been saying for decades, and I believe the message is this: We can accomplish what what we are accomplishing without stripping and then damaging our precious biosphere.

Secondly, if you are a resident of the USA and you drink cows milk, you really need to watch this movie - especially if you have young children!

The premise is that corporations have the same rights as humans, but are not accountable for their behavior like humans are. This film uses very clear examples of how true that premise is.

Be afraid ... be very afraid. But enjoy it too.
