I would only like to ask one thing of you. Why on earth would anything that makes so many people happy be considered evil? I realize that there are many people out there that believe all corporate giants are evil to the core, and they are doing nothing but growing fat off of the hard earned money of the people they cater to. But to this I say, yeah, and? It is called Capitalism, and it is what our nation was founded on. Free market enterprise. If they didn't produce an appealing product, no one would buy it. So I must comend them for their sucess, and say that people, like yourself, that attack companies like Disney, Microsoft, and McDonalds, are more like than not, marginal failures at nearly everything that you have ever attempted. This is why so many find it necessary to blame corporations for their own shortcomings. If you want to blame someone, look in the mirror. As for any other "evil" that Disney may commit, I will say this, they don't do anything that any other Mega-Corp wouldn't do. And if you are thinking 'well, that's my whole point', then think of this : What kind of car do you own, what brand of shoes or pants do you have on, are you wearing a $300.00 pair of hiking boots, or driving a $50,000 SUV, or maybe you are drinking a $5.00 cup a Starbucks Latte....at any rate, that makes you a big hipocrit! If you objection to Disney is one of a religious nature, then I won't even waste the time responding to silly superstious non-sense and myths. I am a firm believer in the corporate model, and would dare anyone in the world to show me a more effecient and productive system. As for Disney itself, I think that they are doing wonderful things in a time in which people need some happiness....even if it is only for those who can afford it. After all, I'm sure you don't go to work for nothing everyday, why should anyone else? If that is what you want, there are countries out there that can and will accomodate you. Maybe, you should think about taking up residence in one of them, and do something to TRUELY make things better here!!!
