>I call it an agenda when you clearly don't make any efforts to ridicule or demonize the second largest oil company or the second largest retailer. It's symbolic. Exxon represents the oil industry because they're the largest, but at least in my mind, it's not the only company at fault. In fact, it's not at fault at all, as far as I'm concerned. It's a corporation doing what a corporation is supposed to do -- maximize profits. The problem lies with our system, which allows them to do so at steep expense to the general population. >Kinda like when Maryland wrote their new employee laws based upon Walmart being the largest non-government employer in Maryland. If those new laws were so damn important, why weren't they applicable to other employers? To hell with their employees being treated unfairly? No, in that case it was because Wal-mart had thousands of employees who were living off of taxpayers for health care. -Z
