Amazingly, some people are still not convinced that U.S. corporations
will engage in nearly every sort of subterfuge imaginable in order to
make a profit. For those, here's yet another story: Monsanto is under
investigation and accused of fixing the prices of genetically altered
seeds. If it holds up in court, it will simply prove that yet another
U.S. company has ripped off consumers around the world by engaging in
dishonest practices.
This sort of activity is rampant in the food,
beverage and pharmaceutical industries. When there's money to be made --
especially repeat money on consumables -- most companies, it
seems, are willing to break just about any law to make a buck. It's a
sad, but true, commentary on the state of business ethics in the United
Sates. And, no, it wasn't just Enron.
