Sep 8, 2002 I wrote this (recently recovered) document. I left it exactly how I recovered it, spelling errors, stupidities, and all ^_^

RETRACTED

Today people are influenced so much by large corporations’ scheming yet they have no idea that they are even being affected. It is the plot, the ingenious plot, devised by few, understood by few, yet carried-out by many that destroys so many peoples’ free will and existence as a human on this planet. In the real world, corporations pretty much exist for the sole purpose of trying to get you to buy something. Underneath the technical terms and the complicated financial systems, all that is left is a company that is trying to get your money by selling you something that is less value than the amount of money you put forth. If they ask “do you want this?” some will say yes, and some will say no. The ones that say yes are those that want the product. Those that say no are those who realize that the product is more money than what it’s worth. Businesses used to work this way, 1000 years ago, a skin seller would let you pick the skin you want and he would tell you its value and you would either buy it or not. Today, with the miracles of technology, the large corporations of America are trying to change this method. The same technology that blesses us in our everyday lives is the same technology that will condemn us to be nothing more than puppets controlled by the large corporations. The corporations, dissatisfied with their current amount of people interested in their products, become greedy and try to change this. Not my changing the product to be what more people would like to have, but by trying to change the people that would not normally buy it. We are bombarded every day by the extensive efforts of targeted advertising trying to get us to purchase items from companies that we do not want. Since some of us simply do not want an item a company cannot create that desire for a product in us unless they affect something that we do care about. Companies create an atmosphere, using TV and radio, that make you think that if you do not have something, you are not as good as those people that do. If you do not listen to the music that other people do at your school, you cannot be popular. If you do not wear the clothes that other people wear, you cannot be successful as a person. The first statement may be true, but the second is what our mind naturally thinks when we are so used to having to be like everyone else in order to have value in this world. So many people are so easily manipulated by the big money conglomerates of America. They have been spoon fed by the profiteering gluttons that disguise themselves as honest businesses. They have been brainwashed into thinking that they have to be like others to have value. Their friends have been shaped by those they see on TV. They are then cast into the image of their friends. The corporations that run their life in interest of creating a perfect target audience of their lies have succeeded in chiseling away their individual label of a human being… reducing them into nothing more than a consumer.
