Big Corporations Not Always the BAD guy

January 20, 2004 Big corporations are not always the bad guys. How many times have you heard derogatory comments about large corporations. They are blamed for everything from fixing elections to destroying the environment. I know acquaintances that work for some of the big giants who are almost embarrassed to admit it , that somehow by working for a large company they have sold their soul. Well I am here to tell you that there are a lot of big companies with soul. In many cases their resources have improved the environment and working conditions throughout the world. The amount of cooperate aide donated to tsunami victims to date has been simply astounding, and that number just keeps rising. Pfizer's gift of 10 million cash and 25 million in products has garnered it top position on the list of US companies that have donated more than 180 million. Names we all know well like Coca-cola Microsoft, UPS, and Verizon should make not only their employees proud but the rest of us as well. The contributions of US cooperation's play a major role in our ability , bounty and technology to aide suffering nations. I'm Susan Allen and this is Food Forethought. New York Times 1/10/05
