Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO(can we say Czar?) of Facebook, deems
to make an appearance before the House Commerce Committee.
His appearance and style remind me very much of another similar
grilling conducted a few years back, by the Chicken Growers of
America.
"Mister Fox", said the timid chairperson, "Mister Fox, do you think
that just maybe we ought to discuss some sort of surveillance camera,
or something, on the Hen House Door?"
"Gentlemen, gentlemen," soothed Mister Fox. "While certainly,
considering the numbers of fat, juicy Hens now unaccounted for, that
option might be good to bring up at a future council meeting. But we
should spend our time right now looking for those poor lost Hens".
And so, just as Mark Zuckerberg suggested that congress do with their
proposals to regulate Facebook, the suggestion by the Chicken Growers
Association was sent forward, to a future meeting, unscheduled.
So, we brave Americans are willing to stop being Citizens, are we?
Instead we'll just be the Consumers of all the wonderful gifts and
services handed down to us.
Remember when the American People decided what regulations and laws
were needed to keep corporations in line? Is Mark Zuckerberg really
being asked to tell us, the Former American Citizens, what we should
do in the way of regulating his corporation?
And some of us do not believe that we have undergone a Coup. My oh my!
