I doubt Lockheed will change its mind about controlling
nearly all of the US government.

I do too, Alexa. They have enough trouble controlling their
unions without trying something like that.

Controlling unions is a piece of cake when Lockheed is the driving force
behind the PNAC:

I hearby nominate Alexa Cameron for the AFA-B Angstrom Award and Medal.

Seconds?

Only your sock puppets!

To rely on government bailouts from corporate oppression is tantamount to
seeking judicial
redress from the accomplice to the swindler who robs us in the first place.
In this regard,
Nader reminds us that ". . .there has emerged a fundamental change in our
political
economy. The arms-length relationship which must characterize any
democratic
government in its dealing with special interest groups has been replaced,
and not just by ad
hoc wheeling and dealing, which has been observed by generations. . ." but
by . . .the
institutionalized fusion of corporate desires with public bureaucracy--
where the national
security is synonymous with the state of Lockheed and Litton, where career
roles are
interchangeable along the industry-to-government-to-industry shuttle, where
corporate
risks and losses become taxpayer obligation." 27
