Of course, I will be getting Lou's book through the library when it becomes available--cheapskate that I am.:)

But I want to know the names of the people who make up these corporations, too! I mean, why not? The people who make up the governments of countries are known and scrutinized, aren't they?

And their bylaws. Laws of nations are scutinized... why not corporations' inner workings?

To me, knowing the names of the people would be a step towards holding these huge, powerful entities somewhat responsible for their doings.

My original post was thought of after I'd read an article telling how Monsanto at last bought and gained control over Delta Pine and Land. It seems there had been a failed attempt at this "marriage" in the late 90's, resulting in a lawsuit. But then in August 2006, the big deal went down. So now Monsanto has some sort of controlling interest involving cotton. And this controlling interest is a peril to third world cotton growers.

And of course we know that Monsanto is the corporation with the TERMINATOR GENE technology--the tech that makes plants develop with sterile seeds, so those who plant Monsanto plants end up with mature plants which will not reproduce themselves, forcing the growers to ever after have to buy new seeds each year from... Monsanto. And the growers can't necessarily refuse to buy, etc. I recall a patent lawsuit by Monsanto against some western farmer who had the temerity to save seeds from one of its plant types that WASN'T sterile.
