we are all ruled by Bankers, corporations, Gov's. and in the case of the cancer society it also is very big business.
Well, if you don't want to be "ruled" by them, then give up what they provide. Stop driving, stop taking medicine, stop going to the grocery store (grow your own food instead). If you have a heart attack, don't drive -- er, I mean walk -- to the big-business run hospital. Just find the nearest sharp stick, cut yourself open, and heal thyself. If you get an infection or a lot of pain as a result, don't take those pills that big business profiteers from, just deal with it.
Labelling business as bad because it is big has a neat little appeal to it, but it ignores how much better life is in so many ways due to what those businesses have provided. And reciting that mantra, "big business is bad", is what leaves the general public (and, I suspect, the protestors themselves) without a clue as to what the protestors believe should be changed. They start saying things like they are against "globalization" and "trade", instead of articulating some coherent set of objectives.
