OT: your ideas........ make such an easy target. You said, "you didn't say anything about values relative to right vs. wrong." Every human on the planet wants to Do Right. We just have a lot of different ways of defining it. Stalin sincerely thought he was Doing Right, and had a vast intellectual framework to back him up. You are joyous over the way corporations are trying very hard to listen to employees, and create a supportive corporate community, and not make the workers feel alienated (to use a Marxist phrase). This is entirely a function of the 3.9% unemployment rate. Employers have had to reach deep into the labor pool, to hire and train groups that had been classified as "unemployable". Among educated, self-disciplined workers (the only kind Microsoft hires), the unemployment rate is effectively zero. In the next recession, when the unemployment rate goes to 8%, all this will (unfortunately) disappear. Maybe not at Microsoft, or other tech titans, because the people they hire are always in short supply. It's supply/demand in the labor pool, not a New Age.
