They're People Too

I think it's pretty cool how you can make your country environmentally-friendly just by making stuff green. Since green has become the standard color for "this probably won't suck all the air out of the atmosphere and give you twelve different kinds of cancer", people just sort of assume that anything that's green is good for the environment. And that's awesome, because it means you can convince people that your smog-spewing mega-corporation is totally opposed to lighting trees on fire without actually having to not light trees on fire. That's pretty convenient.

GE totally pulled this. Changed their logo from blue to green. Didn't actually do anything, just changed it to green. Apparently, this was to show their new environmentally-friendly direction. And they just kept on doing what they were always doing. That seems reasonable. And hey, if things keep going in the same direction they have been lately, corporations will be able to get citizenship, and then we'll be able to get our asses sued off for slander against a poor citizen. IS MY SARCASM THICK ENOUGH RIGHT NOW I HOPE SO.

Actually, I really do look forward to the day when a corporation runs for president, because I think that's the day when we should all be able to decide to just tear all our rules and governments down and start over, because things have gotten out of hand. Bam, new Constitution.
