With all due respect, you still don't get it either. I've stated previously that I think government needs to change the rules, that much we both realize. However, this does not mean my scorn for business is unfounded. I have every right to rally against business as do the protesters. You can play by the rules AND make socially responsible choices at the same time. Just because you play by the rules doesn't mean you get carte blanch when it comes to being a socially responsible corporation. As I said before, how far do we let maximize profits and shareholder value go? When do we look at the status quo and realize it needs changing, both from a regulations point and from a corporate values point?
