Yes, they certainly have a dark past. Which is why my PC has Intel components, but nothing from IBM...I'll choose ethics over technicalities any day.

A good attitude, but we still put petrol in our cars or bikes regularly. I do wonder how many have died during the liberation of middle eastern oil reserves in the last 10-20 years.

Shell oil bought rubber bullets for their african projects, blah, blah, i better shut up as the list goes on & it's been brought to my attention that i talk too much.

Aye, as I said in an off-topic thread recently (http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... 7&forum=31), "it is important to consider what underpins our relatively prosperous societies and to acknowledge that, untimately, we all must assume some responsibility for that."

However, we can try to make ethical decisions within that, rather than just not giving a damn.

colateral damage compared to the effect the stuff has if fueling heavy, fast moving objects - not to mention it's future potential for continued pollution of environment...

I believe that this is why the music will never die. My man Claude DeBussy stated how war and industrialism gave him nightmares, causing him to wake up in the middle of his nocturnal sleep to compose. So I guess we need to focus on the benefits of our dark realities. Get pissed and compose my friends.
