B - Entry. In response to Jeremy Jordon's blog.

I agree with everything you said. The majority of people in prison are locked up because of small crimes such as, the use or possession of marijuana. People who have realized and/or have invested in the prison system are making a fortune. Marketers are very smart and try to make people act out of emotion. People/consumers today have to be very cautious as to the goods, services, or ideas they receive. By being correctly informed, staying active in the community, and having the ability to think long term or rationally, a consumer can play his or her individual role in the larger scheme of making the world a "better place".

Now that corporations have the same freedom of speech rights as individuals, politics in America will be getting fuzzy. This allows corporations to use as much money as they please to help support a campaign. This leads me to assume that the separation between the rich and poor will increase even more. With a minority of very wealthy promoting their own interests and a vast majority of poor, problems are sure to arise in the future.
