History and Contemporaneous Corporate Folly
Re: The SPLC and their bedfellows.
Speaking of history, the notorious "doomed to repeat it" category is obviously still amongst us.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the nonprofit once slavishly quoted by the mainstream media and government, has positioned itself as the industry leader in raking cash from corporations signaling their opposition to the “hate” the SPLC purports to “study.” Business is booming...
Apple Computer, the world’s most valuable company, pledged $2 million and vowed to match employee contributions to the SPLC and other groups two-to-one. The California giant then doubled down, soliciting the millions of customers on its iTunes store to make further donations to the SPLC.
Unfortunately, iPhones don't come with a built-in moral compass; but that really shouldn't surprise anyone—except maybe those who fall into the previously mentioned category.
The battle really is, as some say, Wall Street vs. Main Street, or perhaps a corollary Broadway vs. Narrow Way!
