Sherwood,

I actually agree with a lot of what you say. Where the line gets drawn is this (and subsequently getting at my original point):

"If you derive a life style from illicit profits and you can rationalize that aspect of your life, join the many others in this country who do the same. "

I for one do not believe for a second that because we had Enron, WorldCom, and the supposed backdoor Halliburton deals that ALL companies, all CEO's, their shareholders and ALL employees are money sucking outsourcing criminals commiting fraud as sooooo many of the OT posts imply on this forum. That is just plain wrong and gets a little old. The majority of Americans in business are honest hard working people. I tend to think a small percentage of the workforce has some ethics issues that create problems and a big media frenzy for the rest of us. I for one am tired of the constant bashing of everything business related in this country and how its evil and opressing the man and all that crap. I get irritated when I get taken in the market by fradulent activity of a company just like anyone else would. But to imply that this is a widespread "every corporate entity is crooked" problem is stretching it an awfully long way.

I for one own a shift kit of yours and like it. Wouldn't boycott you for your thoughts. But the bashing of the "corporate" environment I work for gets a little tiresome as they are my source of income.
