Watch this movie

In the past 6 months or so, I've been watching quite a few documentaries on socially important issues. These have included The Cove, Food Incorporated, The Warning, The Ascent of Money, and several others. While I recommend that everyone watch these enlightening shows, I also know that many people won't because they just aren't interested in the subjects, don't care about them, think they are biased, or just don't want to know about many of the injustices and horrible things that are going on in the world. But, because of this week's incredibly stupid Supreme Court decision concerning corporations and their ability to fund election advertising should raise serious concerns for everyone in the country who actual cares about our political process, regardless of your political or social leanings. I just finished a movie last night that I think YOU need to watch. It's called The Corporation and is a Canadian documentary from 2003. It discusses modern day corporations, their status as "persons" (and you thought the 14th Amendment freed the slaves), and compares their behavior towards society and the world to that of a psychopath. I know, this sounds kind of ridiculous, but you should reserve your judgment until you have actually watched it. It's hard to disagree with what they present. This movie is available to watch for free on Hulu.com or can be downloaded from most bit torrent sites. It's probably available from Netflicks too, but I haven't actually checked. It's a little long, at about 2-1/2 hours, but is easy to watch. You owe it to yourself to learn more about this.
