The Corporation

And as the corporation reads
the market differently

:49:05
it can go back.
:49:06
One day you
see Bambi

:49:08
next day
you see Godzilla.

:49:11
How do you define
socially responsible?

:49:13
What business is it
of the corporation to decide

:49:16
what’s socially responsible.
:49:18
That isn’t
their expertise

:49:20
that isn’t what their
stockholders ask them to do.

:49:24
So I think they’re going
out of their range

:49:27
and its certainly
is not democratic.

:49:31
I don’t really care
:49:32
what the chairman
of General Motors thinks

:49:35
is an appropriate
level of emissions

:49:37
to come out the tailpipe
of General Motors automobiles.

:49:41
He may have a lot
of scientists

:49:42
he may be
a very good person

:49:44
but I didn’t elect
him to do anything.

:49:45
He doesn’t have any
power to speak for me.

:49:48
These are decisions that must
be made by government

:49:51
and not by corporations.
:49:53
You take this to its
logical conclusion.

:49:55
One would have an image
that we are in fact at this

:50:00
the end of the world
this nigh.

:50:02
And we are all
completely brainwashed

:50:05
and there is
no space left.

:50:08
And I don’t believe
we're there yet.

:50:12
And l think it's
really important

:50:14
that we don’t
overstate the case

:50:15
and that we admit that
there are cracks

:50:17
and fissures in all of these
corporate structures.

:50:20
And sometimes when
a corporation is concentrating

:50:22
on one particular project
they look the other way

:50:25
and all kinds of interesting
things happen in the corner.

:50:29
It is the case in every period
of history where injustice

:50:33
based on falsehoods
:50:35
based on taking away the right
and freedoms of people

:50:39
to live and survive
with dignity

:50:41
that eventually when you call
a bluff the tables turn.

:50:59
Ultimately capital puts
its foot down somewhere.
