Post #29,056 by boxley 2/20/02 11:29:22 AM Reply	say what? legally B&J is distinct from Ben and Gerry individuals. Why are corporations formed? to protect individuals from personal liability. B&J protects Ben and Gerry from actions taken by B&J the company=Ben and Gerry the individual shield B&J the company from personal liability. One of the individual's likes cop killers!=B&J likes cop killers B&J as an artificially created legal entity cannot like or dislike anything, it is amoral. Ben and Gerry (whichever one contributed) is immoral (for sake of argument) the company being amoral is being run by immoral amoral(neutral(0))+immoral=? punt thanx, bill "I'm selling a hammer," he says.

Post #29,063 by Brandioch 2/20/02 11:51:11 AM Reply	Um, okay. "What". Practially complete agreement right up to the end.... amoral(neutral(0))+immoral=? As this assumes only one person has influence in that company and is completely immoral. Which brings us back to my earlier statement that a corporation allows lots of people to do a little "evil" (or "good") and results in the corporation doing a LOT of "evil" (or "good"). In other words: amoral(neutral(0))+((total "evil" actions by employees)+(total "good" actions by employees))=? Corrections?
