- Democracy, Media, and Deregulation (Alternet.org - Schmelzer)
"Indeed, the issue of centralized news will be exacerbated after the FCC's June 2 vote on ownership. On the chopping block are six regulations that attempt to preserve a diversity of voices and local control of media – from the ban on owning both a TV station and newspaper in the same market to limits on how many radio stations one group can own in a given area."
"Should the FCC vote to weaken these protections – as expected – more of our airwaves will be concentrated in the hands of a few corporations."
Nichols says, " ' We still have a highly regulated media. The only thing that is changing is that it's now being regulated in the interests not of democracy or the people, but larger corporations.' " 4-03

"But MoveOn.org's lawyer, Joseph Sandler, said in a statement that the ads were funded legally, calling the RNC's letter "a complete misrepresentation of the law."

As other companies adopted this policy, more and more Americans had both the money and time to drive anywhere, anytime."
" 'If it hadn't been for Henry Ford's drive to create a mass market for cars, America wouldn't have a middle class today,' wrote Iacocca."
"Increased travel spurred appeals for better and more roads, the development of suburbs, the oil industry's rise and a boom in gas stations, strip malls and motels."
"But the assembly line itself had the biggest impact on American society, Hyde contended, in making possible the swift, mass production of everything from computers to 'fast food.' "
"Ford deserves credit for the mass consumption society in which products that people want can be produced so that they are affordable and abundant." 8-04

- Editorial: Price Gouging With Gas - Worry Later (Slate.com - Goolsbee)
"If gas prices did not rise across the country now, in fact, the short-term impact would be disastrous. Demand would vastly exceed the current supply.

Families who'd driven off on Labor Day trips would still be stuck out on the highway, looking for a place to fill up."
"Somehow, hunts for gas gougers always seem to start at the wrong time." 9-05
