19. With the good comes the bad
That's true for EVERYTHING.

It's throwing out the baby with the bathwater that causes problems for the majority.

Power of the people can NEVER be a bad thing because it protects the interests of MOST. Nothing will never protect the interests of all. And when the power rests solely in the hands of the corporate muscle, the only interests that are protected are their own.

They look out for themselves, they've got millions to back it up and each other for support. They're organized and have successfully propaganda'ed unions into a bad thing. In a sense, they use the "power of the people" philosophy themselves, which is the ultimate irony.
