Corporations do not have ethics. They have policies which they believe will maximize profit and public relations departments to spin them. They will go into places like Saudi Arabia and China and have no problem with complying with the local totalitarianism and tyranny if there’s a buck to be made. Simultaneously, they are come up with stateside campaigns here stateside to promote how wonderful abs concerned they are with their ‘Fair Trade’ coffee, and concern for social justice, and little fund raiser ads for AIDS relief Bicycle tours.
How many are sitting in Chinese jails right now learning how to think properly compliments of Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft?
But to be fair, its not only corporations. Look at the Feminists who have clearly demonstrated that their interests go no further than their own personal aggrandizement. Or the environmentalists that work overtime to keep suffering third world populations in squalor, disease, and hunger. Government are worse yet – the UN being this era’s ultimate champion of hypocrisy. Or is it the news media? I’m not sure.
Seems like just about everybody is dealing with the devil. But that’s the human condition. There is nothing new in the world.
Will people do the right thing? Probably not.
