Ugh, no global government, please! Ours is bad enough, thank you very
much! I would love to see that monster come out. Speaking of the Bible,
Matt, did you ever read Revelations? The one world government?

Corporations are private organizations, made by citizens. They are
totally different than the government, and the public has no right to
tell them what to do. Shareholders do. I think this evil corporations

the same about government as you do on corporations. However, you can
boycott corporations if you don't like them. I get arrested and thrown
in jail.
