That's one take, and a popular one out there. I like to think that what
Matt refers to a "evil[s]" are none other than citizens of Corporate
America and occupy places that I [we] have invested the savings from our
403s and mutual fund investments. And as such, those empires have sole
responsibility to us shareholders first. That *is* our system. Note,
corporations are not entrepreneurs, that's the sword for many of you to
take up. Make that better mouse trap and the world will knock, po$$ibly
beat down, your door.

Note 2: Many corporations by being large and multi-national in scope,
are not expected to fastly change, nor take up ad hoc causes. But many
do come around so as to "please" market conditions and shareholders in
common.

Finally, [and note 3] lacking a "Devine Will," they're about the best
we have for getting our goods and services to our tables. Agree?
