Interesting approach, but it is kind of remote isn't it? I work for Oracle but I don't consider that I really helping Phillip Morris sell more deathsticks. Oracle also provides products and services to tons of Health Departments and Authorities around the world. Maybe it is different if you were working strictly in the capacity for Phillip Morris.
