How to Serve Man

The B-movie that brought us "How to Serve Man" (the title of a cook-book dumb humans thought was a guide for flesh-hungry aliens on how to help humanity) became a cult classic. The idea that humans could be easily led by an assumption of self-importance was funny if not prescient.

Not so funny are the Republican's who are using humans for like interests now--except the hungry alien is corporate politics and the book is called "Conservatism".

According to wingers, people want to be conservative; it is a choice of conscience. Seems it is a choice of business and the yahoos who like being grist for the mill are just going right along--sheeple--Baaaaaaaaaa...

Creating a Right-Wing Nation:

"Founded in 1973, ALEC was the brainchild of paleocon Paul Weyrich, a leading 'Movement conservative' and the head of the Free Congress Foundation (in 1973 Weyrich also co-founded the Heritage Foundation). It is the connective tissue that links state legislators with right-wing think tanks, leading anti-tax activists and corporate money. ALEC is a public-policy mill that churns out 'model legislation' for the states that are unfailingly pro-business. The organization fights against civil rights laws, as well as consumer, labor and environmental initiatives.

According to the National Resources Defense Council, corporations 'funnel cash through ALEC to curry favor with state lawmakers through junkets and other largesse in the hopes of enacting special interest legislation -- all the while keeping safely outside the public eye.'"
