I couldn't agree more. The thing is, Ben and Jerry's does this as an aware
corporation, and by choice. They walk the talk and have demonstrated real
leadership. All the while the "big boys" continue to promote concentration
of (financial) riches and power in the hands of the international bankers.
Question is, should we try to find ways so that these rules become "the way
we do things around here" or, as I admit I have been doing, continue to
satisfy ourselves with pursuing the UL  and leave the LR quadrant to other
folks. After all, as the spiral dynamicists say, the health of the whole
system is the goal...

Rob-- Thanks for your wisdom and for sharing the incredibly wonderful
websight on orgmind and chaos. I'm reading it slowly and multiple times,
savoring the wonderful taste of all they have to say.

Praying and sending energy for peace to reign and rain to pour --BJ
