In reply to Snitching Becomes Big Business: Informants Trade for Shorter Sentences

Just a thought.

Capitalism is supposed to work because corporations are supposed to be fighting with each other.

The corporation (by state charter) must woo the consumer in competition with other corporations; the corporation should be using dirty tricks against other corporate entities in order to libel and slander those entities; the corporation is constantly stealing the ideas of other corporate entities and then adding something of substance to those ideas; the corporation is supposed to be constantly in court pleading against the tactics of other corporate entities....etc. etc. etc.

The other safeguard against corporate injustice is supposed to be the 'good citizen' who stands up and informs the public of corporate actions that threaten the citizenry.

Instead courts recognize employee contractual provisions that forbid publication of any act that is based upon what that employee learned while being an employee.

Instead corporations sign secret agreements with other corporations with court sanctions that end up in truces between the companies to the detriment of the public good.

The 'snitch' aint a bad model for the government to use in the corporate situation just like when the government uses that model against organized crime.

Let us not confuse the issue. The greatest crimes committed in this nation are not committed by the Mafia; they are committed by the capitalist corporation.

I have no idea what this post means. hahahaha
