-> I don't understand.. why would you go out of your way to help a huge
-> corporation? Do you think that this corporation would EVER go out of its 
way
-> to help you? To the contrary, most corporations spend millions of dollars
-> a year trying to get themselves tax breaks at your expense, mass-marketing
-> their products to get themselves rich, etc. So you want to turn in 10 
people
-> who are minding their own business and who are just regular folks like you
-> or me.
The above post seems to group "regular folks" on one side, and "corporations"
on the other.  Corporations are owned by stockholders.  Stockholders are
regular folks.  The only difference between VERY rich stockholders & poor
stockholders are the number of shares owned.  If you don't like something a
corporation is doing, you can refuse to buy their product, or you can buy a
share of stock & try to get it to "act" differently.  Corporations try to get
tax breaks & mass market their products to enrich the shareholders.  If they
didn't, shareholders would sell, and they would eventually disappear.  Why do
so many people refuse to see a corporation for what it is ... a group 
omposed
of many individual shareholders, not a melevolent entity??
