<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2>I did a cursory search of the OS list
archives, and the impression I have is the ethics question has only been
somewhat "plumbed".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2>Phil, you ask what are some ways OST can be
destructive?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Examples:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>-Building more McDonald's restaurants- how we can sustain
expansion of this chain?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>-Conducting OS with any corporation which has had a history of
discrimination, crowding out small business, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>-Would you agree to conduct (if you were in the US) an OS to
explore how to mobilize volunteers to help elect Bush? Or any candidate with
whom you don't agree?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have never taken a course in ethics or anything along those
lines. Maybe there are folks on-list who might have a framework the guides them
on the ethics issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Maybe the examples I have listed as "destructive" are not
necessarily destructive?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Still ponderously,</FONT></DIV>
