Plugging And Plugged

From Exposing Faux Capitalism.

“Ms. Reisman is a former Governor of McGill University and of the Toronto Stock Exchange. She has served on many North American boards including Magna International, Suncor, and Rogers Communications Inc., and continues to serve on the board of Onex Corporation, J. Crew Group Inc., and Right to Play. She is also a Director and Officer of Mount Sinai Hospital, and a member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee, a geo-political think group.“

Quite a resume. Though one has to wonder just how much of a genius this chick really is. I'm going to guess it's more of a "who you know" situation to be given so many lofty posts. It's like an incestuous cynical game.

She was then handed a book monopoly with Chapters-Indigo - hey, it's Canada what did you expect? Competition? Each time I walk into Chapters I see her picture with her selections for us to buy. Yeah, like I'm going to take her word for it. She may not have even read that damn "pick of the week."

Which makes me think of Oprah. Amazing how influential one person is with their book suggestions. It's like an army of blinded, aimless drones wait to hear from someone from above to decide what they read.

Dumb.

Just dumb.
