[Superman]

As I say, I accept the brute fact that corporations do not have a conscience. And I also accept, happily, gratefully, that they provide the economic furnace that warms us. No quarrel with that either. The quarrel is with folks who expect corporations to have a conscience that is not purely financial. Humans do. It is fascinating that humans have this knowledge of right and wrong, and feel compelled to do the "right" thing, even if it means foregoing some personal benefit. And while we recognize that humans run corporations......and here comes the important part.....they are NOT free to exercise that human conscience in their duty as corporate officers.
