Hi Weby

I basically agree with everything you said in your post. While corporations provide benefit, they are also based soley on profit motives. That's why we can't rely on the "free market" to solve social issues. The "free market" doesn't care about social issues, like education-it only seeks profits. To the extent that government acts to reign in corporate tyrannies like monopolies, I am in favor of their regulating business.

By the way, have you seen the documentary "The Corporation?"

It's on Youtube here:



It's a cleverly done look at the role and influences of corporations in our society. It obviously has an agenda, but still makes many persuasive points.

Regarding rambling- ramble on, I enjoy your posts, and the subsequent discussions.
