You can't be yourself if you work for a money-making company!

Jacques Rousseau said it several centuries ago, the Hippies said it in the 1960s (maybe that's why I married a former Hippie):  you can't be yourself if you're part of the establishment, which for Rousseau was society en toto, for the Hippies was working for a company; but today, I think it translates into working for a money-making company.  I think you can be working for a non-profit, non-political foundation and still be yourself.

Case in point: CCN news just over this past weekend.  One of the regular news-anchors was interviewing Mr. F. Zakaria about his position-statement made on his own GPS program.  I am presupposing that Zakaria is himself paid by CNN.  Anyway, Zakaria had expressed the view that some nations who are close friends of the US don't actually want a deal to be made with Iran regarding limiting Iran's nuclear capabilities (a capability that has up to now taken over 15 years, I might add).  He cited France and Israel as being adamantly opposed.  On religious grounds, he seemed to name both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain as opposed--being Sunni not Shiite (as are Iran and Iraq).  He also thought these Muslim countries would also be against a peace settlement in Syria.

Regarding his position on an Iranian nuclear agreement, boy, did Zakaria ever back-track after a seeming assent to it--making his position into an 'Oh, yes, well, there's much to be said blah...blah...blah;' and at least one 'You know how things are.'  But then Zakaria works for a money-making corporation; and I don't; and I contend that not only nations friendly to the US don't want any nuclear agreement with Iran but that many members of the  US Congress don't either!
