My understanding of such facilities is that they are appropriate to those persons who have forgotten the value of their lives, or who have permitted others to convince them the value is small.

"Corporate Responsibility" is a strange-sounding term.

Let's consider its two components, separately...

1. "Corporate" <kor-poh-reht>, as in coporation, from the Latin "corpus", meaning body.

In order to be "corporate" a thing must be integrated, it must be permitted to occupy a place of importance and vitality within the body. Otherwise, it is merely a wart, with neither expectation of ever being welcomed into the body, nor possibility.

2. "Responsibility" <reh-spahn-sih-bihl-ih-tee>, from the French "repondre", meaning to respond. It is the social force that binds you to your obligations and the courses of action demanded by that force.

Since responsibility is a social (subjective) rather than moral (absolute) force, I preserve my right to invest allegiance and compliance ONLY in those societies that I agree with and that welcome me.

I acknowledge no force of responsibility greater than my righteous refutation of it.
