"as an author I have fortunately never sought for or had a public"
The concept of having a public, fans and now followers (twitter)
I felt like Christ when I got my first "follower"

What I learned earning my BA in Communications is the "socialization of mass media on the masses
I always wondered who the masses were. that other. Those masses of drones at the bottom of the hill. We the thinkers, learners, the intelligent, were separate then those masses. Oh dread when you left the hill and had to mingle and become a part of the mass.
All information is censored, edited, formulated and deliberate
What is really weird is all the automatic personalisation on the online sources we use.

Corporations are considered people
Corporations as persons in the United States
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood#Corporate_personhood_in_the_United_States
As a matter of interpretation of the word "person" in the Fourteenth Amendment, U.S. courts have extended certain constitutional protections to corporations. Opponents of corporate personhood seek to amend the U.S. Constitution to limit these rights to those provided by state law and state constitutions.[3][4]
The basis for allowing corporations to assert protection under the U.S. Constitution is that they are organizations of people, and that people should not be deprived of their constitutional rights when they act collectively.[5] In this view, treating corporations as "persons" is a convenient legal fiction that allows corporations to sue and to be sued, provides a single entity for easier taxation and regulation, simplifies complex transactions that would otherwise involve, in the case of large corporations, thousands of people, and that protects the individual rights of the shareholders as well as the right of association.

Euro Nuclear Age: 1945-Present
This course examines the history of Western and Eastern Europe since World War II with special attention to Europe’s transition from a “warfare” to a “welfare” state as it passed through the major turning points of 1945, 1968, and 1989. Our topics will include the Cold War as a force for domestic as well as international political changes; the nature of “everyday socialism” in the Soviet bloc; the “American challenge” and the power of New Left ideas in the 1960s; the Prague Spring, “Ostpolitik,” and “Velvet revolutions” in Eastern Europe; and the pressures of youth, class, gender, ethnic, and racial politics in both East and West.
