We need Teddy Roosevelt. The world situation, economically and politically, is very much like 1890-1910. Large corps controlling blocs of government and the economy. The scale is global this time instead of just the U.S. Teddy took on the Rockefellers, Standard Oil and such and broke the monopolies backs for 75 yrs.
The problem is I see no such backbone in any leader anywhere. The acquistion and combining of our media is probably the most terrifying of all. Hearst to the nth degree. Thank god for the net. There's a hardcore group of bloggers on both sides that do good work. Let's hope that degree of freedom expands to where it cannot be stopped by the powers that be. Speaking truth to power was never more important.
Just read an interesting article that the guy who wrote "Bush's Brain" is on the no-fly list. Scary.
