Saturday, February 18th, 2006Writing an article
Saturday, February 18th, 2006I found this article on writing an article to be extremely helpful, clear and concise. I put it here so that I may refer back to it often. The article is by Tom Adelstein Editor-in-Chief of LXer.com, a Linux discussion site.

Citizens and corporations
Sunday, February 12th, 2006I like this quote from a purpose statement regarding a PBS/Oregonian special on Meth.

Gene Haislip, a former deputy administrator at the DEA, says: “They live in the business community, where the name of the game is to make money and sell product. They’re highly skilled, very well organized and very well funded, and they can be quite formidable.”

I’m not quoting it, like PBS did, in reference to meth and the pharmaceutical industry. I’m quoting it to apply to all well funded corporations. From what I understand, any publicly traded company is open to the threat of a stock-holder lawsuit if the management doesn’t maximize profits.
Quicker PDF document reader
