Hi Blue Fin

Lets be clear, I don't agree with some of "The Corporation," and realize that other parts leave out significant portions of the story that they tell. For example, the story of the Cochabamba Water War in "The Corporation" is told while omitting the larger picture of the overall riots and rebellion against the government in Bolivia at that time, including the police protests and strike. I believe the stories of Fanta Orange soda being the "Nazi Drink" are also entirely false, as well, among other things. So, while I presented "The Corporation" as an interesting video, I didn't mean to say it was gospel. Far from it, in fact.

I hope you didn't really think of my previous post as a diatribe. It was not intended to be. I realize that the issue of the proper place of business in society is too complex to be disposed of by statements as simple as I made in my post. I simply meant to point out that while corporations provide benefit, they can also be the source of problems that do effect society. In fact, both corporations and the free market in general are only as good or evil as the people who wield the power that they confer.
