The Premise: occupy

How it works:

Extraordinary things can happen when we ask extraordinary questions. This blog asks extraordinary questions in the form of outlandish statements. Sometimes I believe what I've posted. Sometimes I don't. This is not a blog about my political, religious, or philosophical views. It's a blog about thinking in different boxes or outside of the box altogether. Have fun. BRING FRIENDS!

Premise the 41st- Corporate Greed

Premise: The term "Corporate Greed" is an oxymoron. Corporations exist for the sole purpose of making money for shareholders. Only methodology differs. Blaming corporations for doing everything they possibly can to make a buck, within the confines of the laws, is like blaming a dog for pissing on your carpet if no one ever trained him not to.

Assignment: Argue for or against the merits of this premise, using logic, sound reasoning, and where possible, citations (links) to back up your arguments.

Caveat: You need not take the side that you actually believe. Sometimes arguing the other side is more fun.

GO!
