If you haven't seen this, you should.

The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded. You will find it a powerful ally.

For some time I can still make a choice...work for them, to make them more efficient or more profitable or...work for people. Probably I'll be stupid enough to choose the latter.

Or work against everyone...potentially at least (though some idealists would call it "for humanity", phew...)

Just saw Star Trek First Contact. Amazing how the Borg reminded me of corporations..

[Jessterw]

Yeah, but what corporation do you know of that is headed by a grotesquely attractive cyborg?

[KvHagedorn]

You're right.. corporations are worse than the Borg.

[Nowhere]

Much...

Actually, I think the Borg is the only entity in ST universe which makes sense.
And in some wierd way they're fascinating/tempting...

PS. I've read some opinion that they represent Biblical heaven

Here it is...I love Google

You know, we just ran a big, full color ad in the paper with huge coupons and everything hoping we would sell some TVs.. we got NO response from it. We get at least 3 calls a day from people wanting their shit fixed though. People are so brainwashed by Wal-Mart and the like it's pathetic. No one even cares about quality or shopping locally here. It's not just us, but every small business that's being destroyed. GWB pays lip service to promoting small business but he's completely clueless about it. The damned SBA won't give you a loan unless you are BLACK or a WOMAN, so why bother if you are a white male?

The US is turning into communist China.. and if you buy all your crap at Wal-Mart or some such place, it's YOUR fault.

Yep, saw that a while back. Highly recommended.
