Now, I should be called a communist and socialist, but, that is not the case. Capitalism as practiced in the USA is proof of it's follies.
In the case of Smithfield's Foods it is plainly obvious; the small family farms were destroyed and corporate EFFICIENCY has created a monster that now kills it's own product. That is true across the USA when it comes to Agribusiness. At one time the agricultural industry in the USA wasn't an industry at all, it was 75% owned by families across this country. They were and in some cases still are wonderful people. We, as a country, would celebrate them at County Fairs where 4-H projects would bring top dollar in testament of excellent farming practices. It was the day of the Farm Cooperative, the Farm Agent and all that was possible to preserve soil health, air and water quality. The USDA celebrated with an annual yearbook; a coffee table book of our agricultural community. It was the day of romantic affection for all that was the USA.
That is primarily gone now and what is left is Monsanto and Smithfield's and dead cattle on droughted plains with empty slaughterhouses except for predatory horse slaughtering. I don't call that at all moral and most certainly is nothing but corrupted.
In the case of the Pacific Ocean Fisheries, the canneries were all along the Western Coast of the USA and full to the brim. There were single family fisherman out on the waters and not corporate seine nets hauling in enormous number of fish and endangered species besides. It was easier when a single set of fisherman from a single family pulled in a turtle or dolphin; it was bycatch no one wanted to sell and they would immediately return it to the sea. The catch is very different with single family fishermen/women. They, like the small family farm, took care of their fisheries. If I am not mistaken there is still crab pots owned by a single family in North Carolina near or at the Outer Banks. They have had those waterways for a very long time and they never cease to disappoint them every year.
Now, we are left with overfishing of decades and collapsed breeding stock. The endangered species of Marine Mammals can't even recover as their young are now dying for lack of food and desperate attempts to become adults and worthy of life. They don't understand they are good hunters, but, for the human exploitation of their habitat.
The USA and it's Wall Street has become perverted. It is linked with fewer and fewer corporations seeking higher and higher profits without regard to what actually made and can make the USA economy vibrant. As a result the citizens are left with deciding what is worthy of life and what is not. Female is no longer demure and romantic; it is anything goes as young girls become pregnant for a lack of self-worth or a clear value of their lives outside their sexual assets while college educations on the horizon become more and more dim, so why not get what you can while you are young?
Young men in our culture are measured by strength, endurance and extremism and not the worth of a father and a husband, a son or a grandson. They are expected to be hideously masculine and outwardly vial in acts of killing without purpose.
And the identity of the USA is one of nothing but perversion. It is the Superpower that can leap from any tall building in a single bound. It can kill at will without a global consensus to the outcome that leaves nations running for their lives be they ally or foe.
Why, indeed, would someone seek to kill a Bald Eagle and display it as a meal for a national holiday? If the country has become this perverted, why not the people?
