"eventually they'll make corporations wards of the state" As opposed to NOW, when the state is a ward of corporations? The only reason we have even a little freedom is that no one consortium of corporations have been able to maintain control.

Ten, just heard a preview of a "Frontline" episode you'll be sure to want to record on NPR. It's airing tomorrow: Secret State of North Korea pbs.org From what I heard, it includes a lot of video and pictures taken by dissidents in N. Korea, and how people there are trying to stand up to the government. Also, how some N. Koreans are smuggling in S. Korean and translated American TV shows on disks and thumb drives, which then get passed around, showing N. Koreans the outside world.
