Brand or Branding: A brand often includes an explicit logo, color schemes, symbols, which may be developed to represent implicit values, ideas, and even personality. The brand, "branding" and brand equity have become increasingly important components of culture and the economy. I am not blind to the fact people are influenced by "branding" or many of it's modern related concepts. I am not foolish enough to believe that people are not concerned about the economics associated with "brand", I am. I am on the side of transparancy and "idea" of democracy (not sure if it is real or not).

You'll either be a union man Or a thug for J. H. Blair. Oh workers can you stand it? Oh tell me how you can? Will you be a lousy scab Or will you be a man? Don't scab for the bosses, Don't listen to their lies. Us poor folks haven't got a chance Unless we organize.
