<topcat@***.NET> rambled on endlessly about Runner's Attitudes
Excuse me interjecting here old chap, but I have a small question for
you.
Totally ignoring the fascinating conversation that is once again
expanding between yourself and Paul, you use the word "Megacorp" as if
it is some magical mantra that will explain everything.
Could you possibly explain to me what your definition of "Megacorp" is.
As I see it, and I could be wrong, you appear to view them as a single
entity, something like Weyland Yutani (Alien) Tyrrel (Bladerunner), OCP
(Robocop) - or do you follow the more realistic vision of a Megacorp as
a multitudinous conglomeration of corporations, which is, as far as I
know more accurate.
The reason I ask, is that your answer depends very much on how seriously
I take anything else you have to say on the subject. It's just a little
clarification, and I'm sure you won't mind explaining it to someone who
may have missed your earlier definition.
The main reason I ask, is that as far as I know Paul views megacorps as
multiple entities formed into a single named unit by a Board of
Governors, much like the corporations around today, for example the
giant Kingfisher group, which holds a wide variety of companies under
it's wings. You appear to treat them as single uniits, wielding vast
power. If that's the case, then it is safe to assume that you and Paul
are never going to agree. Which makes your arguments pointless, albeit
interesting. :)
