Today I sat in a round table discussion with the Timberland CEO Jeff Swartz. It was inspirational to say the least. Timberland is a company that tries its darndest to live out the ethics that they preach. They are not perfect and they know it, but they try and you have to respect that. I think I've put their web link up here before, but here it is again ... right here.
The discussion made me realize how complex these issues are on the company side of things. It is easy to say that Wal-mart is bad, but to really consider what is going through the minds of CEOs is considerably more difficult. Maybe they really are trying to do what is best...maybe?
Anyway, Timberland really is doing cool stuff, just so ya know. We talked about how nowadays, we vote more at the cash register than at the voting booth. So, where is your vote?

As easy as it is to criminalize huge corporations and their bosses, this is how the world works nowadays. Look at how many companies on the list of best companies to work for are mid-sized and large national Its true that our "retail vote" carries more weight than our political economy. Would our country be on the verge of economic collapse if everyone stayed home and didn't buy anything for a whole day? Maybe, maybe not. Aside from movin' to the country and livin' off the land, there's not much else you can do to separate ourselves from that reality.
