I'm also opposed to initiating violence. Letting people die from
treatable illness, or due to lack of food and shelter, might not be
"initiating violence" in your book but it is in mine. And that's only
if business is stupid enough to be bound by ethical consisderations
when expediency suggests otherwise.
