:58:00
If we use the model of boycott
and voting with your dollars
:58:04
thats an
undemocratic situation.
:58:07
What are we afraid of?
:58:08
I mean are all the businesses
going to leave Arcata?
:58:10
I dont think so.
:58:11
And if they did
:58:12
wed deal with it or
wed figure it out
:58:14
or wed do
something different.
:58:15
We're creative people.
:58:16
I just dont see
why we are afraid.
:58:20
If you think it's tough
making a decision
:58:21
where to buy your
stuff today
:58:22
how tough do you think
it is when theres only
:58:23
one provider
and it's the state.
:58:27
And by the way
:58:28
you dont get to have
this little democracy forum
:58:30
in those
communities either.
:58:32
People that say that they
fear their govern meant
:58:34
I really hope
that they understand
:58:36
that theyre allowed to
participate in their government
:58:39
theyre not allowed to
participate in anything
:58:41
the corporations do.
:58:42
So dont fear
the government.
:58:44
Help it be the government
that you wont fear.
:58:47
If this many people around
the country would do this
:58:49
instead of watching
Super bowl Sunday
:58:50
our nation would be
controlled by the people
:58:52
not by the corporations.
:58:55
... no more chain restaurants
in Arcata after
:58:58
a long awaited decision...
:59:16
Over the past decade
:59:18
we have been
gaining ground.
:59:21
And when I say we
:59:22
I mean ordinary
people committed
:59:25
to the welfare
of all humanity.
:59:28
All people irrespective
of gender and class
:59:30
and race
and religion.
:59:32
All species
on the planet.
:59:34
We managed to take
the biggest government
:59:37
and one of the largest
chemical companies to court
:59:40
on the case of Neemand
win a case against them.
:59:45
W. R. Grace and the U. S.
governments patent on Neem
:59:48
was revoked by a case
we brought
:59:50
along with the greens
of European parliament
:59:53
and the international
organic agriculture movement.
:59:55
We won because we
worked together.
