I have a good Myspace page and it has yet to get me hired for work. If one has such a quality page of advertising that employers swamp the brilliant page producer with job offers what could possibly be wrong with that? Alternatively if the employer or your spouse what kind of people you call friends and views it critically, can it not be expected that disharmony may arise? In the global corporatist environment Big Brother is your supervisor-you have no right to offer critical opinion of your employer or of the corporate world unless they have stipulated that you might.

Today the Corporate trans-nationalist rule the middle class and poor with a corporate repression of dissent applied ever so softly. If the Corporate world discovers any independent ventures, viruses or inappropriate nutmeg in you eggnog what can you expect, an invention for an add as a friend?
