I’ve been watching The Corporation, a documentary about the construction of the modern corporate enterprise and its control on modern life. It’s very scary to see the reality of corporations as plunderers.

A considerable amount of time was devoted to the Corporation as a Psychopath, which is a terrifying thought as well. A psychopath, as you recall, has no feelings, no conscience, no moral view of the world.

For example, you could say that Harper Collins developed a conscience when it fired Judith Regan yesterday, but you’d be terribly wrong. I’m sure that a number of focus tests led executives at Harper Collins to believe that the O.J. “Here’s how I could have done it” fiasco would have affected sales through the end of the fourth quarter. So a head had to roll. Good bye, Judith.
