Any more of these anti-corporation links and people might just get the idea
that I'm … oh … I don't know … un-American or something.
But you know what?
I don't care.
Nor do I care to work as a wage slave. I'd rather be poor and have my time to
myself than to be rich and answer to 16 hour days and the bottom line.
