Ross - it doesn't help when you turn around and present another false dichotomy. It's quite possible that Joe *does* understand corporate budgets and politics, and *still* thinks that business decisions are antisocial. In fact, one can fairly easily argue that *many* of our current socio-economic issues are due to the fact that corporate decisions are in general required to be in the stockholder's interests, not society's. In other words, they are in general *by definition* anti-social. So the correct phrasing is "How do we change the anti-social behavior into something less anti-social which still pleases the stockholders?" > Seriously, what will be your next analogy, pedophiles are the same as file > sharers?
