Also ...Excellent points about PP, Jean! Thank you!<br /><br />Also I hadn't heard about either Cecil the lion (avoiding the news evidently works to keep at least a few items away) but the piece by <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/05/opinion/in-zimbabwe-we-dont-cry-for-lions.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">Goodwell Nzou</a> was a fascinating look at cultural disconnect from our side. Just what those tolerant Cecil-lovers wouldn't understand. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention! :-)Julie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08384291674560438678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-48284270794259737052015-08-07T23:39:24.919-05:002015-08-07T23:39:24.919-05:00Julie, here's a little something else that str...Julie, here's a little something else that struck me about the first video and its aftermath, looking just with secular, disinterested eyes. Even if one could argue that there was no haggling over price going on, the fact remains that the woman in the first video ADMITS that the mothers signed an agreement that said in all other respects the procedure would be the same as "non-donors". Then she says that PP will be using a different procedure to ensure "donations." That right there is illegal and unethical. <br /><br />Any other corporation would freak out at that and they'd do two things: They'd insist that they were conducting an internal investigation and they'd suspend the woman (with pay, but still...). This is the modus operandi of a beleaguered group facing a bombshell video. But not PP. That's because they can't throw the woman under the bus because she's not an outlier. She's not breaking protocol; she's following company policy. <br /><br />So PP accuses the whistleblowers of harassment (like they did when the Komen Foundation discontinued its grant) and demands a judge use prior restraint against them. They're the queens of projection.<br /><br />On the hunting brouhaha, did you see the New York Times op-ed piece by Goodwell Nzou, an honest-to-goodness Zimbabwean? <br />Jeanhttp://thehouseofnonsense.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
