So it may be. In the late 1700's the abolishionists began to warn the tens of thousands in thousands of organizations of slaveowners. They were also mocked and derided. Took another 65 years for push come to shove and the result incredibly bloody. This end phase will not be as long, hard to imagine it could be.

So now you are equating tens of thousands of people in publicly-traded corporations with slave owners, with yourself cast as one of the abolitionists. There's no shortage of moral high ground in your part of the country, is there. I bet you can raise really high horses there.

I think we are at the point here where you are attempting to transmit emotions through a textual Internet forum, and I'm just not very good at that. I see somebody casting people who happen to work in publicly-traded companies as slave owners, and I think, "That's frigging nuts." It's a limitation of my horribly crippled male brain. If I were one of them thar Metrosexuals I would know that all you're really saying is "those are horrible people and I just know it," but I can't be relied on to ever do that again.

In any case, "slave owners" is close enough to "Hitler" that we can now fairly invoke Godwin's Law. This law states that "if you mention Hitler or Nazis in a post, you've automatically ended whatever discussion you were taking part in." Hitler, slave owners, what's the difference? Let's call the whole thing off.
