8. Practically all corporations operate this way

There are many, many wonderful people employed by corporations, but there's no getting around the fact that corporate motivations -- by definition -- are amoral at best.

From Corporation as Psychopath by Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman

The movie (The Corporation) and the book (The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power) drive home one fundamental point -- the corporation is a psychopath.

Psychologist Dr. Robert Hare runs down a checklist of psychopathic traits and there is a close match.

The corporation is irresponsible because in an attempt to satisfy the corporate goal, everybody else is put at risk.

Corporations try to manipulate everything, including public opinion.

Corporations are grandiose, always insisting that "we're number one, we're the best."

Corporations refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions and are unable to feel remorse.

And the key to reversing the control of this psychopathic institution is to understand the nature of the beast.
