"Do you really believe that? Corporations (and companies) are machines that run on people."

I guess cars are just machines too, with no driver in control.

Every company is the property and the tool of its owners. People decide what the company does. Even publically-held corporations have a Board of Directors who have enough stock to qualify for voting power according to the corporations charter.

Pretending that corporations aren't really just people, is just an excuse to dehumanize the people you are so prejudiced against. Stop treating people like they don't exist. They have faces! They have names! They have families and friends and homes and history. And they have employees who want and need the jobs those bosses provide. People who don't have the LUXURIES you have of internet access and time to spent ranting on the Internet.

The US military should be held accountable for all the real people it hurts when it inflicts "collateral damage" in attacking Iraq.

Low-income employees, a group made up largely of people of color, of these companies you attack are the collateral damage of your attacks against WalMart and other successful corporations. We are all connected in the web of life, and your careless wreckless self-righteous crusading can create even more economic injustice. The real world is not black and white!
