Hand gripping the neck

I was in my American pluralism class the other day and we were watching a film called loose change 9/11. It was about the conspiracy theories behind the collapse of the world trade center. The bigger picture behind the whole thing was that our government is being controlled by the major industries of the U.S. to bend in order to give these companies more profit. This movie really shows just how much our every day lives are controlled by consumerism. We talked about it in class and I believe the question was asked how big does advertisements and media, and all these things contribute to our everyday life? If you believe in this movie then its clear that it plays a huge role. I for one am worried for our future if the major industries can control the government to the point where they would devise a plan to attack their own country and kill thousands of innocent people.
