Prudy, Sweetie -
"I can't disagree with what you say, but from the gitgo..." This is a big,
fat 'Yes, BUT...' Furthermore, you are side-stepping with the stupid
factor. Stupidity isn't a crime; it's just an assault to the senses.
The first order of any business is to survive. How they choose to do that,
at some point, boils down to individual choice - people yeaing or naying at
meetings, a wink behind closed doors - whatever.
If we are to rebuild this nation with honor and integrity it begins at home
(that means you and me). While big, nasty corporations may do stupid,
mean-spirited or even illegal acts to survive and excel, WE have a choice to
support that or not. NO business can survive if they cannot sell their
product even if that product is a service. As a consumer, you have power
because you have the money businesses want. Another simple formula.
