GENERAL NOTES:
---"it's my corporate badge. Once a year on C-DAY, the employees of TSL give up something. The corporation has requested we not eat. It's our way of giving back. It's a sacrifice for TSL. I do not eat on C-DAY. My tithe helps TSL grow stronger."
---"It's kind of like sacrificing for the war effort in the old days, isn't it? Give your son. Give your life. Starve, so the rulers can continue to rule. Democracies and dictatorships have always ended the same. Everyone sacrificing to become a slave. There is an old law odf economics and business: you have to give up something inorder to gain. In this case you traded your freedom for slavery to the corporation. Such a deal. You made such a deal!
---"that's not what the speakers say."
---"you mean those propagandists the corporations put out in the squares on Sundays. The stringy haired, illiterate bitch and the short, round sloganist---they never have gone hungry a day in their lives---that's for sure. (they are justb like everyone else at the corporation, anyway. Everyone is doing his duty; spying and enslaving his neighbor. Everyone is pleased with himself, and his service to the corp. Everyone ignores the hardship of his fellow man. (ignoring thweir neighbors)

THE STATUES HAVE EITHER BEEN MOVED TO THE CORPORATE VILLAGE FOR VIEWING AT A MUSEUM OR THEIR HEADS HAVE BEEN TORN OFF BY THE HOMELESS. sOME MIGHT HAVE BEEN SHOT OFF BY THE HG. I DOUBT IT, THOUGH. THE HG WOULD NOT WASTE THEIR AMMO (ON RELICS)
----It became this waybecause either our society lost faith in the individual or the individual lost faith in himself.
(COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER) We will never know.
----The HG gets furloughs once a year for a month. We go back into the corporate city. We carouse and cavort. We generally do nopt act well in public. The Elite Corpsemen and the Regulars are always upset when there are a large number of HG in town. It means trouble for everyone. One rule, I have learned over the years. It is more enjoyable drinking alone than sharing the experience with an alcoholic.
That's the lesson I have learned. Luke said as he took the bottle from Jimmy. Luke put it in the lockbox where he stored the extra ammunition.
----CORPOCRACY= corporation+bureaucracy= top heavy, inefficient, paper mills, lacking innovation and creativity, poor interdepartmental communication.
----The relation of corporate to corpulent (obese is interesting)
----=Corposant: (holy body) ovbselete Spanish "corpo santo" (body of a saint?)---to consecrate may be the past participle?
---His kinsmen were not philosophers and he did not care for fancy talk. It must come from some book, he had read in his youth.
---A traveler in the wilderness does not choose the company of his companions. He is lucky just to have them. Their company is forced of him by circumstances..,...I raised my eyebrows. That was an unusual observation from a man like Luke........You see, I stil;l can read.
BLURB----JL is a corporate man. He wants a promotion. HR has recommended de-humanization. LP is his man. A scathing portrayal (sp) of the corporate mentality and its military counterpart.
The only survivor/winner is...........(needs finishing).....
