Corporations *are* human beings working in concert. as opposed to: Corporations *are* human beings, working in concert. I had to eyeball that one, as the statement is true, except that a corporation is not of itself, a human being, singular or plural. Interestingly enough, there was a book entitled "The Dysfunctional Organization" which said that any organization (a company, corporation, church group, any kind of group) can be dysfunctional and no matter if you change personal, hire/fire executives, shut the plant and move elsewhere, no matter... the dysfunction would continue, as if it was a single human being, in need of therapy. The only way to cure it was not by being sold to another company, but by being shut down completely and if possible, bulldoze the property. <g> ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ...the Sin of Ignorance, and ...the Sin of Stupidity.
