Hi Platt,
>DMB appears to know what's best for others:
Do you defend corporations to the point of not caring at all how they
manipulate people's desires for their bottom line?
The only ethical imperitive of a corporation, their highest value, is to
maximize shareholder value. Not quality, shareholder value. They care
about ethics only enough so as not to decrease the value of the shares. If
everything is basically now owned by corporations or controlled by
corporations, don't you think that quality suffers? Even if there may be
"trickle down" effect to improving quality when shareholder value is
maximized, is that enough? And what if there is actually a converse
relationship, that quality necessarily suffers because
Does free enterprise necessarily mean we have to have corporations as we do?
Aren't they sort of anti-free enterprise in their own way, as DMB has been
saying? Isn't working for Microsoft's shareholdrrs like working for people
who "know better" about the "greater good"?
And doesn't this corporate system just make the rich richer, for no real
reason other than they are already rich? Where is the quality in that?
Johnny
