Clearly he doesn't have the millions of dollars and high class lawyers and lobbyists that the meat companies have. Individuals can do little to combat such huge companies.
What can he, or any one of us, do? We might start a website condemning the companies for their practices, we might write senators or try to get laws passed, but American government is not a true democracy, and it is not really ruled by the people.
The businesses have far too much power for individuals to fight effectively.
Of course this is my own pessimistic view, but I believe it is realistic.
I definitely approve of Banksy but you have to admit that graffiti street art doesn't change much. The big corporations are just going to laugh, say "how cute", and then pressure the local government to destroy the graffiti art because it is vandalism. Many of Banksy's art pieces have been removed in that very manner.
Yes, I was talking about people taking it to the streets, not th Banksy, which was/is just an image I like, regardless of if he's "sold out," as they say. Sorry for any confusion. For me, anyway, this horse is pretty well dead and beaten, so I leave it to you guys to carry on. Real and rehotorical question: Would you participate in a mass protest standing up for others? Have you? Will you? How about organize one? Would/have/will/am now? If we don't stand up for each other... You know how that story ends (See "First they came").
Banksy is a mainstream commercial artist now, he sells his work at Sotheby's, who mainly deal in traditional oil paintings. Was his "graffiti" just a clever marketing campaign?
