Ethics plus profits will prevail (Score 1)

The world is not binary. Saying that corporations should have "one" purpose implies a disconnected world. The tobacco industry lawsuit, microsoft lawsuit, and the upcoming landslide of other lawsuits indicate that a focus on profit without ethics is simply not good for shareholders. The world is not disconnected, and profits with ethics will win. The American public, through a) shorting stock in unethical companies and b) complaints to their attorney generals will rearrange the priorities for American corporations. It's happening right now.
