<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mmm... some of that naughtiness was a bit extreme.
Bayer for instance. As well as inventing Aspirin, they also trademarked Heroin
and sold it in several European countries in the early part of last century as a
cure for headaches and a 'safe pacifier' for mothers to give their babies. Bayer
avidly supported Hitler and DID push people into ovens. During WWII they
operated their own corporate death camp and employed the infamous Dr Mengele to
perform often lethal medical experiments (generally without anaesthetic) on
hapless prisoners. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We won't mention the murky pasts of Toyota,
Mitsubishi, Volkswagen - or the violence of the private African
armies known - not without reason by the locals who live in fear of them
- as the 'death squads' of the big oil companies...</FONT></DIV>

just slipping folding money into a brown paper bag</FONT><FONT face=Arial>.
Death, destruction, mutilation and mayhem are not hard to find in the
naughtiness of big business in the last 100 years...</FONT></FONT></DIV>
