Welcome to ‘Burgerworld.org’
 “Would You Like Your Freedom, To Go?”

The most important ‘vitamin’ democracy needs is truth, also known as verifiable information.  So what does it mean to a nation state when what we know, is actually for sale.  If everything we knew, had to sell burgers for us to know it, what kind of world would we live in?  ‘BurgerWorld’?

 

Family owned funeral homes across North America are joining together to help our youth ‘take back their airwaves’!  The cornerstone communications acts which paved the way for the rental of ‘we the people’s airwaves to broadcast corporations defined the first responsibility of the tenants of our airwaves as ‘to protect the public good’.

 Ask your local family owned funeral home if they are a member of the Family Funeralhome Association.  If they are ask them to sponsor your school’s participation in the ‘Burgerworld Essay Contest’.  When all Family Funeralhome in North America have joined, even if they only sponsor one school each, the annual prize will be a million dollars!

 The first prize in your local school is $250, and the second prize id $100, so it’s certainly worth all of you putting pen to paper to write!

Marshall McLuhan said some very important things including that: 

  1. Electronic media is a narcotic,
  2. World War III will be a war of information, with no distinction between military and civilian participation.

 Association founder Tom Crean:  “We family funeralhomes (80%) have turned down billions from Wall Street, far more than our businesses were ever worth, not to be famous movie or rock stars, but because we knew how vulnerable the grieving in our communities were, and refused to cash in on them.  Ten years later we have taken half what the consolidators bought back as well!  We have kicked Wall Street’s posterior soundly for three decades just by doing the right thing, and the vast majority of us, never even noticed.  Here’s some lessons we learned along the way:
  1. Big business’s worst nightmare is an informed consumer,
  2. Big Government’s worst nightmare is an informed citizen,
  3. Willful ignorance is a choice (we call it ‘vested ignorance’)
  4. ‘Democracy’ is a ‘participatory sport’!
  5. 70% of the US and Canada work for small, local or family enterprise,
  6. 80% of the money Wall Street throws around is in our pension funds,
  7. So the mess we’re in is nobody else’s fault but ours.
  8. It’s up to mothers to organize us – motherhood is the one force on earth more powerful than greed!
  9. We are probably the most powerful citizens that have ever lived,
  10. The power’s ours already, but do we have the guts?

 

 Ask your local family funeral home to sponsor your school contest! If they are not already members it's not expensive, but is a great value!

Media Literacy and Education needs to become everyone’s second most important issue.

IT’S TIME TO TAKE THE AIRWAVES BACK!
