I bet if you asked them, they would say the second is slightly less immoral than the first. But they would still, rightly, condemn the corporation for exploiting Third World people and treating them as commodities instead of trying to make a better life for them while making money for themselves, which is what a corporate CEO with good desires would do.mojo.rhythmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901306439675127615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-54071038248522532922012-11-14T07:44:16.799-07:002012-11-14T07:44:16.799-07:00Peter Hurford
