We have to control the media: the broadcasting, the newspaper, and the magazines. Without that control of the media--or motion pictures or DVDs--without control of that media, you cannot influence people. The broadcasting companies today are owned by private institutions that make money and have advantage in this system. Therefore, the broadcasting companies used to make a lot of money from advertising cigarettes, which produce cancer, but the taxation on it gave the government money so they kept pushing that crap. And you got the same thing with alcohol, you got--they advertise on TV--if I spoke on TV, I would talk against that, and that would not allow the TV station to survive. They depend on support from industry; we don't do that in a Resource Based Economy. The things we talk about would be detrimental to perpetuate the same system.
