How can nearly 3 billion global villagers, sharing the same electronic nervous system, continually pacify and amuse themselves with the inane while not appearing aware or overly alarmed by their submission to light-speed corporate slavery?

Would calling this another example of official corruption be unfairly strong terminology? I really don't.

Our governments — and perhaps by extension our public/administrative oversight bodies — typically maintain thinly veiled yet strong ties to large corporations, as though elected heads are meant to represent big money interests over those of the working citizenry and poor. Accordingly, major political decisions will normally foremost reflect what is in big business’s best interests. But don’t expect to hear this fact readily reported by the mainstream news-media, which is concentratedly corporate owned.

I see the first-past-the-post electoral system in its usual form as just barely qualifying as democratic rule within the democracy spectrum, though it seems to serve corporate interests well. I believe it is basically why powerful money interests generally resist attempts at changing from FPTP to proportional representation electoral systems of governance, the latter which dilutes corporate lobbyist influence.
