That's one of the most politically and socially naive statements I've ever heard. Corporations *never* do the "right thing" unless it will increase their profits.

I just *love* hearing statments like this from people who have probably never started their own businesses. Corporations are no more or less than their component people. If the people running a corporation care about an issue, the corporation will act upon it -- bounded by the interaction of their survival instinct with their assessment of reality. How could it be otherwise? The literature out there abounds with counterexamples to the "corporations are automata" idea (for some reason, they love to harp on Ben & Jerry's). - -- Todd Masco | "life without caution/ the only worth living / love for a man/ cactus@hks.net | love for a woman/ love for the facts/ protectless" - A Rich Cactus' Homepage - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
