		<description>I&#039;ve noticed over the last week while I listen to my National Public Radio station WKMS here in Kentucky, that General Mills has been getting credit for being a NPR underwriter. This is a recent occurrence, though if they may have done this before I do not recall. I have been listening everyday for the past 10 years.

While I can hardly blame NPR for excepting donations, I mean after all it is public radio and supported by donations, I do see the typical corporatocracy at work here as usual. Associating your corporation with some philanthropic deed for all the world to see what a good world citizen you are, while you deny any plundering and harm you do to the environment. I have no doubt that their minuscule contribution to NPR is small change in comparison to the profits they reap from palm oil plantations that obliterate huge tracks of rainforests.

Right on target, just as told in &quot;The Secret History of the American Empire&quot; by John Perkins. Thanks John and RAN for all you do.</description>
