It always amazes me how easy it is to slam the 'corporate' world and those in it with pure, absolute and malicious prejudice. If I were to respond to a Mudcat thread by calling Blacks lawless drug addicts, or Jews malicious power and money grabbing people (both commonly bantered prejudices) I would be soundly, quickly, and correctly rebuked. Yet for some reason that escapes me, we find it easy to claim that all corporate life is vicious selfishness, and to imply that the only contribution one makes in the corporate world is to steal the resources and/wealth of the unnamed underpriveledged, presumeably noble lot. This idea is just as abhorent to me as any other bigotry.

I repeat myself from my earlier comments in thread, and say further; I have actually at the highest of corporate life, with some very very talented and successful corporate people ... I find some of them delightful, caring valuable human beings. I find others, less so. They are human beings, much like those fine Mudcatters here, and their human value is no less.
