Of course, people runs company to make money. Vaccine company makes and sells vaccine. Milk company sells milk, and will say it's good for you. Even though the only people who are losing bone calcium are those who drink milk like water, they will defend their livelihood. Did you expect something else, Hugh?
Yes, William, I expect more. But I have to admit that when people are afraid for their livelihoods, they do tend to act against the "greater good" if it will help their own individual circumstances. That's why I think it's so important to make sure our systems and institutions are designed to harness human nature to increase the "greater good". BTW, I tried emailing you earlier today, but got an undeliverable thingy back from your address. -Hugh _______________________________________________ Hugh Reilly XEN Technology Group | LinuxLab 600 Bay Street, Suite 405 Toronto ON M5R 1G6 tel: 416-204-9951 fax: 416-204-9723 email: info-2K4XOyu7qTosA/PxXw9srA at public.gmane.org _______________________________________________ http://www.xen.ca | http://www.linuxlab.ca _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
