SKU and UPC

I believe this is just the tip of an iceberg; it's another blatant power grab by "The Corporation" It is being aided and abbetted by so called professionals like lawyers, judges and politicians with vested interests in this. 

(Click on the highlighted links that follow for background and more information.)

SKU is Stock-Keeping Unit and UPC is Universal Product Code are tools of Modern day beancounters (accountants) and computer programmers that has been sold to merchants as a way to determine usage - sales and project needs based upon consumption. So far so good but I believe the ramifications for people producing a product without having a SKU or UPC is they soon will not be allowed to sell them

Need the basics? see Wikipedia for background:

The CORPORATION:

Since the Corporation came into being - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation#History it has allowed people to come together in a legal entity to generate profits and spread the risks. But now, in recent times some have begun to wonder at what cost? I believe as explained in The Globe and Mail, Saturday, March 6, 2004 - Page D3 a review of the book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power" by Joel Bakan (Viking Canada, 228 pages) that the corporation has lost it's moral direction. More evidence that MONEY, POWER and GREED is behind these things? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa3wyaEe9vE which is the trailer for the 23 part "The Corporation" on YouTube. Connect the dots to the movie FOOD, Inc. whose trailer is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eKYyD14d_0&feature=related
and Corporations like Wal-mart and who is in charge today?

So there you have it, the USA leads the way:  
Corporate America screwing the little guy

WHAT CAN YOU AND I DO ABOUT ALL THIS?!

Take action on a small, local basis is first! Refuse to buy into the gods of MONEY, POWER and GREED. Give thanks for what you now have instead of what you think you need! Grow your own food, do not support the "bigger is better" philosophy. Share the planet with others including bugs so that there will be some for everyone. Learn to live and let live. Children belong to their parents, not one or the other or the government. Our homes, our families, our food, air and water will not sustain us in the future unless we take action today...People before profits.
