On Sony, North Vietnam, and Torture



I have to say this about the Sony, North Vietnam, and the Torture revelations!!!!

It may be that everyone has the right of freedom of speech, under the Constitution, but common sense should dictate a corporate standard!

How any CEO, Board or corporate structure can think that it is a good idea to make a comedy, funny movie about the execution of a real live person, especially the leader of any country is beyond me

Even thought they might have the right, under the Constitution to do this, it is just stupid, bad planning and bad taste destined to generate and evoke a bad response. Now, the President of the USA, the Security Services and not the least the people of Sony have all spent countless hours and costs  dealing with the problems caused by this stupidity, and the CEO, self-righteously is on TV defending his position

He should be fired!  and Sony should get a bill from the US government for all the costs it has incurred, paid for by US tax payers, because of this unnecessary foolishness.

Even though it might be a right, if we are civilized, there must be standards below which no person, corporation or entity must go

Another example is the recent “torture” revelations.  Whilst there may be some who think that this behavior gets positive results, the USA should NOT, under ANY circumstance  descend to this.   

The USA needs standards below which it will NOT fall.  Otherwise, it cannot be the leader or standard-bearer that it believes it is, and that the world expects it to be
