Oddly I've been thinking about a similar perspective. Corporations aren't evil, but mainly have the interests of their investors as the main goal to their success. What needs to be done is engage them, like you mention, but also to understand that it's hard to get the message to the inner core of decision makers. Sometimes it happens easier than others, but there are many levels of bureaucracy to get through to this group. That's quite a trick and what you propose helps bring attention to the process. My train of thought has been taking me down another realization though, that the corporatization of nearly everything from ball parks to restaurants my be part of the problem of participation in our physical society. Hmm, needs more thought, but the social interaction of any corporation will be a large part of it's success going into the future in my opinion. Regards, Rick Interesting post Chris.
