I disagree that net.general was an inappropriate place to bring this up. I
found it quite interesting. As for the comment about the nondemocratic
nature of corporations: if that sort of roll-over-dead perspective was
universal, there would have been no civil rights movement, women's liberation,
gay rights, liberation theology... Just because one works in the Belly of the
Beast seems no reason to worship it in all its many forms... And while it is
true that corporations are generally nondemocratic, and the Phone Company is
not rumored to be an exception to this rule, there are a growing number of
companies which are worker-owned and controlled, in addition to being like all
companies worker-operated... Perhaps net.politics might be more appropriate
at this point; in any case, it would appear our Denver friends will be unable to
participate.
