(n.) - an individual who willingly changes his or her behavior for personal gain or profit. In this context, a tool is similar to a
poser, with one important distinction. Because a tool does not consider his actions beyond rudimentary cost/benefit analysis, he or she will often be co-opted by corporations or powerful interest groups to support the lame or corrupt positions held by these organizations. A tool therefore, is quite literally an instrument of
the man.
