Ossiana, this article is both a triumph and a death knell. Triumph because it's so well written and so true, and just what I thought is happening: it's the corporations who will control us. And the death knell is for us--the "commoners" who are trying to scratch out a living, and it will be increasingly impossible to do so. This is the first time I am glad to be 66. I just hope I die before it all falls apart. I like having my space and my things.
