Notice they go for all the everyday things, we can't live without them.
Quite scary.

they are everyday life...

weird in mass effect this bit got me thinking....they talk of a colony on another planet and how it's ot turning a profit....in the future maybe all people will be is workers within a company all the time....maybe we will go further away from reality and further into the darkness of money being all that exists and spirituality will be even more dead than it is now?

"The world is a college of corporations inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale, it has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company for whom all men will work to serve the common good, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused." - Network, 1976

gotta love that film, still holds true 30 years on...
