=v= I just wanted to toss in something to think about when discussing corporations. The very definition of a corporation is as a legal entity which (1) is granted freedom from liability for certain of its actions in exchange for (2) a specific social good that's expected of those actions. This has degraded down into (1) an overarching unaccountability in matters ecological, financial, or moral, nominally in exchange for (2) a vague and dogmatic idea of a social good, such as job creation (though no guarantees, of course). =v= It is this lack of accountability that makes so many people quite justifiably upset, and enables the sociopathic behavior under discussion. _Laissez-faire_ and similar arguments that compare corporations to jus' pain folks like you and me don't really address the special legal shields that corporations get away with. <_Jym_> P.S.: There is certainly much to be said about corporations, but I can envision this thread going way off-topic for this list. I mention the above because I think it's particularly relevant to recycling. I won't be saying a whole lot more. |
