Dr. Masters – Gomorrah, pt. 2

 

I was a little surprised to learn just how vast the system based in Naples is.  With the power to set prices on AK-47’s in any country, even though I would like to believe I am not a part of such a system, I can’t really get away with that any longer.  Now when I think I’m supporting the local economy, which I am, I can see that I am also supporting the Camorra or Camorra-like entity.  It reminds me of a bee hive or an ant hill.  Worker bees work and if one of them is killed, another is there to take its place immediately.  Production doesn’t stop.  The consumer is no longer in control, the market sets up what is offered, what’s in style and the consumer believes the propaganda and the cycle repeats itself.  Promotion plays a big role, is a commodity as well.  It seems like everything becomes a commodity, even the garbage that’s generated from so much production.  It is obvious that the almighty dollar rules when a system is willing to dump toxic waste on the very area where the worker bees come from.  It seems like the whole enterprise would implode.  But instead, it just seems to keep reaching farther and farther to other countries.  Maybe it will never end.
