"Greed is Good" photo
by Mike Kenmore

Thanks for the cool photo. Salt Lake Tribune article refers to it as the issue of corporate greed among many issues besides pro-peace and anti-war demonstration.
If you don't mind, I used the photo to include in my Yahoo Profile. I regularly post my opinions on issues on Yahoo News. My profile can be found at http://profiles.yahoo.com/kenmore_7/
The significance of this poster I held is a humorous satire although it speaks the grim truth in regards to Bush administration's crony capitalism, defense contract industry, Martha Stewart, and corporate fraud scandals - Tyco, WorldCom and Enron in particular (Kenneth Lay may never be prosecuted for obvious reason).
If you haven't seen a cartoon character, Fat Cat is a villian character from Disney's Rescue Rangers tv cartoon series that aired in the late 80's.

I saw your fat cat poster. What a great turn out. That has to be threatening to Bush as well as Bennet and Hatch that pull the republican line. Don't forget, we heard that Huntsman, the inventor of McDonald's styrafoam containers, is friends with Wolfowitz. These guys are all wolves in sheeps clothing. You can't be any kind of christian and believe in killing 10k+ civilians. Bringing democracy? Bringing capitalism.
Samuel Adams, True American Patriot, lives in spirit

Capitalism is fine, but without regulation, antitrust and other forms of control to make sure that ethics and even morals are upheld in order for democracy to function without falling victim to tyranny as the result of greed fueling injustice and totalitarianism/fascism/bad communism.
This quote by Samuel Adams (1722 - 1803) sums it up.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand
that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity
forget that ye were our countrymen."
