Without wishing to respond in detail to Hayes's drivel I'll just point out that Shell's involvement with Nigeria is hardly beyond question. It doesn't take a genius to realise that sanctions against Nigeria would hurt Shell's interest. Perhaps its just me but I don't consider it altruism when a company acts in its own interests.
I don't consider altruism an intelligent trait--at least as you seem to send define altruism.
