- "Capitalism" and more ...

... in fact and actually, the "iron law" of capitalism; resources flow the the branch that shows the highest ROI.
But I have to ask: didn't we learn from DoS and Zombies that prevention is far more efficient than detection/correction?
So: given that the challenges are not abstract and non-trivial, it should pain us all that this approach streams activity and attention to correction/remediation. More money to be made from re-building LOA's districts than maintaining levees ... repairs after an ice-storm pump GDP more than sorting curbside garbage.
The ethical and moral questions arise at the level of individuals' conscious and willfull behaviour ... mens rea. Passive aggression is no less plausibly deniable now than previously.
Or: as with high-school personality politics, pathological sycophantism VS normal social rank dynamics is a matter of degree. - Posted by: BenTremblay Posted on: 02/23/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
