From a
comment from smogbad on The Independent map page:
"There needs to be a section mapping the shareholder>
industry>advertiser>consumer/addict>profit cycle.Politics is in there too, not only via the military industrial complex.
We really don't need a lot of the stuff that advertisers tell us we should buy (to make profits for shareholders of industries that are consuming resources and making hot air)...we are made to feel we do by playing on basic human fears or competitive urges very cleverly.
We should formulate policies that cut this link of false need creation and concentrate on delineating what real needs might be."
