Re: Corporate Ethics and the Profit Margin
Re Robert. Good one there, catching me saying "positive reinforcement for PKP and negative reinforcement for AT&T." The thing is, I agree corporations don't have feelings, but Jim Bidzos *does* have feelings and he is singularly responsible as an individual, to a range of constituencies. Some of those constituencies have legal relationships such as stockholders. Others are informal, such as Us Here. But all of them come directly to HIM. That's not the case with AT&T which is a HUGE bureaucracy. If someone would find the single individual in AT&T who got them involved with the Clipper thing, we might have an interesting round of questions to ask. The thing is though, once you're dealing with a specific person, the relationship of adversariality has to be modified to take into account the respect for the individual human being. -gg
