Description[?]:
| Private businesses, using the profits they have stolen from the people who created them, have no right to use that money in attempts to make their strangehold on wealth even stronger through domination of space technologies. The stolen wealth, squandered to further the interests of the few, should be spent improving the lives of the many. While most of us are in the gutter, you have no right to be trying to gain even more advantage over us by looking at the stars. |
