Yeah, I have a concept of justice that could conflict with what is written in places. Don't forget, some of those laws were written by some lowlife scum. I'd be telling bankers that,not only do we not owe them, but we're taking what they stole, and exiling all of them to an island, where they can design their laws and screw each other over all they want.

You guys really should take the time to discover the names of the men who were at the meeting on Jekyll Island. They went there using cloak and dagger means, hiding their identities.
And what did Ford say? And how many people actually understand? I think there is me and one other person on this board who knows.
Nothing would change the direction of America further or faster than for this one thing to be understood.

the further along I got in my business degree, the more I realized that morality and ethics had no place in capitalism/business ...  

Yes, that is exactly my point to the original post/thread.

Rat, consider this observation, by my son, who has a MB in business and advertising and has ran some major campaigns for some big names.
I must brag here a moment, sorry....
He has won some of those awards the industry awards yearly, at a gathering of black tie affair stuff  

Anyway, he said something to me, that sorta went like this.....
Man by his very nature, his very core, is tribal.
It appears today as confrontation and fragmentary, to society.
Professional sport fans is a great example.
You must wear the apparel to be part of that tribe.
You go to the stadium on game day, a lot of others are in different apparel of another team.
Some tribe members will resort to this primordial behavior, and confrontation ensues......
We have seen this thinking/behavior accelerate, as it permeates all facets of our society.

What is the driving force behind this?

Simple, business has capitalized on a very primitive, and distinct trait, of man, and discarded morality in order to do so.....
As money has become the universal god, and absolute.

Does that make any sense to you Rat?
 
Isn't the phrase, "Truth in advertising an oxymoron" ?
We have a cabinet position, for the president, that is nothing more than a "spin doctor".....
Why, is the truth not good enough anymore?

The media is no longer about the original intention of journalistic integrity, no....
It's to make money, lots of it, and to factor,and create news, that's to ensure it flows, a news stream, into their accounts.

Justin, you state it goes deeper than greed ...

how so?
and what is driving it?
WHO is driving it?
