I am not anti-Corporation, no more than I am anti-business, anti-individual, anti-rich, or anti-American. I just want what we all want:
Equality. Fairness. Democracy. Corporate Responsibility. Help out your fellow man. Stop dominating the airwaves.

Is it really Clear Channel Communications fault for owning nearly 1,200 radio stations and effectively controlling the rock radio market?
