DEPERSONALIZATION
The OWS protests aren’t so much about evil bankers but depersonalization and the loss of control that brings.
With corporate influence into government you receive faceless unaccountable decision making. Corporatization of healthcare, mortgage lending, and 19th century energy resources that take advantage of individuals rather than aid them. The person is buried for profits.
There is nothing more aggravating than having to talk to some third party corporate broker (who only gives you their first name) to determine how much your sickness is going to cost.
There is nothing more disgusting in borrowing money from some abstract corporate bank who then slice and dice your debt and then change the fine print behind your back. There is no one to talk to in the end except an automated phone system.
There is nothing more disturbing than corporations that make billions of dollars who then barely put it back into the environment and whose profits are based on waste. Try rationalizing and breaking down your electric bill.
![Original notebook page for Dylan’s The Times They are a Changin’..Notice how there are hardly any cross-outs. He was like 22. Happy Birthday Bob.
From Wikipedia..Less than a month after Dylan recorded the song, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. The next night, Dylan opened a concert with “The Times They Are a-Changin’”; he told biographer Anthony Scaduto: “I thought, ‘Wow, how can I open with that song? I’ll get rocks thrown at me.’ But I had to sing it, my whole concert takes off from there. I know I had no understanding of anything. Something had just gone haywire in the country and they were applauding the song. And I couldn’t understand why they were clapping, or why I wrote the song. I couldn’t understand anything. For me, it was just insane.”[8]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llqhnfhfqQ1qhyux6o1_500.jpg)
