Re: Monsanto



You might want to check out anything written by Richard J. Mahoney, the 
former CEO of Monsanto. He specialized in advising people how to spin 
bad publicity. My favorite is "The anatomy of a public policy crisis." It 
all seems benign enough unless you realize the enormity of some of the 
little indescretions his company has been guilty of. Makes you believe in 
the banality of evil.

"In short, people decided that it was impossible to achieve any of the 
good of Socialism, but they comforted themselves by achieving all the 
bad. All that official discipline, about which the Socialists themselves 
were in doubt or at least on the defensive, was taken over bodily by the 
Capitalists. They have now added all the bureacratic tyrannies of a 
social state to the old plutocratic tyrannies of a Capitalist state. For 
the vital point is that it did not in the smallest degree diminish the 
inequalities of a Capitalist State. It simply destroyed such individual 
liberties as remained among its victims."

 The habit of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those
 that have not got it.
