The rest of us are living in 1996, so excuse our ignorance.
Did The McLibel Two win their case?.
I wouldn't encourage people not to work hard, but I would encourage them
not to compromise their conscience. And would you say that the directors
of McD's work any "harder" than the poor saps in the sweatshops?. Or
would you just judge their success by the fact that they take much more
of the overall profit home?.> So many people

Not to mention that you probably think of as "lazy" people
who have made the perfectly reasonable decision to opt out
of this sick system. I personally don't have the courage
to, but I respect the decision of those who do - it takes
a lot more courage to confront than conform.> Mcdonald's

It must be one of the few countries in the world where stupidity is a
dominant gene...
