No doubt the salvation of one's soul is also on the requirement list of
these corporate dictatorships. As a business owner myself, such is just
unthinkable to me. Indeed, it's borderline criminal, hardly different than
owning slaves on a plantation. And to think, some people actually laud the
"advances" mankind has made in our so-called "modern" 20th and 21st
centuries. But despite all these advances, human beings still prefer to keep
other human beings in chains under the guise of "business rights" or
"protection of IP."
