I did work for some good companies and saw some good ones too. But it was more the owners than the employees. Employees are serfs too, like citizens are. So employees feel more allegiance to their country than their company because they actually own their country and can't quit it [normally] and go to another one. My main point was that governments treat people as serfs, being nothing more than state chattels. Their supporters are favoured and opponents are the intended victims. It fascinates me that citizens feel much loyalty at all to their governments who are normally a pack of klepocratic bludgers feathering their own nests. But people go on voting for more of the same. Owners are more protective of their property. Stock options are a way of making employees owners too, so that they will have an interest in the company doing well, other than because of their pay. It seems to me that citizens should vote to own their own countries, in their own name rather than just as a tenant in common without individual rights. Mqurice
