I'm spending too much time online...

Last night I saw a car whose number plate said AFK. My first thought was "Well, they would be."

(no subject)

For some time now I've had a bee in my bonnet about large corporations. They seem to me to have a life and a mind of their own, completely independent of the mostly decent human beings who work for them and (think they) run them, and they are demonstrably without conscience, compassion or any human quality at all: sheer greed personified. I've been calling them corporate demons.

folkmew linked to this in a comment to something almost but not quite entirely else, and it shook me. I feel like wotsisname in "They Live" when someone else puts on the unfashionable sunglasses. Somebody else sees these parasites infesting our world.

This is the second time one of this man's sermons has spoken directly to one of my main concerns, in tones which make me think he shares that concern but might know more than I do about how to address it. Worrying.
