1) The modern idea of social theory is that we avoid the situation where the chopping off of heads is necessary. 2) Enron? Corporations get axed all the time. The real question is: when's the last time you saw a people revolt against their government? I think you have it completely backwards. Corporations are the first on the chopping block of public opinion. Governments enjoy a legitimacy that private enterprises couldn't hope to have. With corporations it's: "Bad bad bad! Sue sue sue!". With governments it's: "Bad! But don't get rid of it, of course! We'll try to reform it." Voluntary. Forced. Voluntary. Forced. One. The other. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
