This applies to all facets of society -- I took a wonderful contemporary moral problems Philisophy course in university and the professor said "don't write your essay on the Death Penalty" because he felt it was a non issue. Shocked at first but as he noted more people die in construction accidents than those on death row. So whether you are for or against the death penalty it's a waste of your time. Why? Let's say that for this purpose 500 people are killed on death row in a year. Meanwhile companies protected with the corporation granting can pretty much do any abysmal crime and only be sentenced with monetary damage. It's too hard to go after...we worry about a serial killer who kills 13 people because it is so "disgusting" and the press is all over it but what about comapnies who do far worse but get off with some fines. PPG&E comes to mind but Ford, Coke and piles of others are up there.The entire jewel market is concocted perception - if the perception of diamonds is diminished so too will be their value. I buy none of it. Now the trick will be to convince the future wife :-)
Company mentality is control, power, and profit. Fascism is the ULTIMATE and desired goal. The cost and price race to the bottom and slave labour is clearly desired and a workforce with no power whatsoever over anything is even more desirable. Which is why Wal-Mart loves to Union Bust.
