HEADLINE:
BIG AND UNNATURAL
BYLINE: NORM NUSSER, SOUTH SIDE
BODY:
Big, bigger and biggest. Mergers,
mergers and mergers. We need another Teddy Roosevelt to break up the
conglomerates. The dinosaurs did not die out because of a meteorite. Dinosaurs
had huge bodies and small brains. They failed in nature's economy.
Birds
have succeeded the dinosaurs. They are not extinct. Nature accepts the
reasonableness of birds.
Banks gobble up banks. Hospitals gobble up
other hospitals. Airlines gobble up other airlines. The bigger they become, the
smaller democracy becomes. How big can big become? Nature's economy is not here
involved.
The dinosaurs are back. To what end?
THE PROPOSED
MERGER OF US AIRWAYS AND UNITED AIRLINES
