- Funny - I wish I had a better memory, but I vaguely remember there being
- people up in arms about a donation made by the maffia. Something about
- 'blood money' being donated is still 'blood money', and by accepting it you
- are condoning the practices (robbing, murder, drug pushing, whatever) that
- helped to 'earn' that money.
-
- As far as I am concerned, someone working for a company that is as
- publicly destructive as Apple has been in the last few years is just as
- guilty as the upper management. It's not as if this employee doesn't
- know how to read and doesn't read any of the journals.
-
- Would I quit working for a company that fundamentally stepped against
- my beliefs? Without a second thought! I don't have the belief that holding
- a specific job is worth more than being able to keep a level of
- respect for myself. I also don't believe that every single software firm
- out there holds the same destructive beliefs.
