corporations and morality

I stumbled on a quote that succinctly expresses what I was saying about the lack of corporate morality. This is the head quote from Chapter XIX of Niven and Pournelle's ``Oath of Fealty'': They [corporations] cannot commit treason, nor be outlawed nor excommunicated, for they have no souls. --Sir Edward Coke, Lord Chief Justice of England Sutton's Hospital Case, 10 Report 32, 1628
