Charles, good morning. (Well its morning here). When you say lack of accountability what do you mean. Could you please expand on this. So its Mcds fault that people throw its rubbish on the streets and dont recylce it. Come on thats an educational matter that should be addressed by the individual concerned who s actually throwing out the rubbish. In australia we have regular recycling pickups. Also our children are taught about recycling in schools. So education is the key. As far as the exploitation of workers is concerned there is no doubt a few workers have been mistreated. But these are isloated instances and its quantum leap to suggest Mcds expoilts ALL their workers. As far as their advertising goes well isnt that what advertising is? Getting people to buy your products through a variety of mediums. Hey its not breaking the law.The only laws that appear to have been broken are Mcspotlight laws. I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me on propaganda. Are you saying that Mcds & Mcspotlight peddle in it?. Your comment concerning years & years of corporate and capitalist propaganda strikes me as being a bit strange. Do you hate Mcds because of what they are, or because they support capitalism, or all of the former. If you hate them because of the capitalist side then thats good. On your next campaign or cause you can just white out their name & use your previous agruments and apply them to the next target. Heres an interesting question. At what time in your life did you decide to dislike capitalists. Was there a defining moment or one morning did you wake up hating the world. The court transcripts show one expert witness denying what the other one said. Thats what I meant when I said "show me your expert witness & I'll show you mine. Stalemate. So the Mclibel defendants are both anarchists. Makes it a bit difficult to gain meaningful employment. No doubt they have no problem putting their hands out to collect unemployment benefits said benefits being extracted from the tax dollars of the capitalists they hate so much. Sounds like a convenient excuse to me. I'm sure the Mclibel support campaign read this site. If they are please post a detailed summary of donations versus expenses. And yes I do believe I can liken Jim & Tammy to the Mclibel Trial. Its not too far of a jump.
