Most incompetent? Any American power company. That one on the east coast especially.

Amen, yo.

How can anyone fuck up being granted a state-sanctioned monopoly? I don't know, but they all seem to do it.

We ascribe these metaphysical qualities to other people, and corporations are legally people.

Seriously?

Any of the cross polination lawsuits is a good example.

Got the luddites riled up.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Patenting a gene is enough.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Monsanto gives a lot of money to charity.  Therefore, not evil. :)

Just because they give some of their ill-gotten gains on charity doesn't absolve them of evil.

No "trap" here - I just want to prove something to a friend and see how many people name the same company I am thinking of (and I don't mean stuff like the Catholic Church or the US government either but a bona fide corporation/company).

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
