Re: Solving World Hunger with the System i and maybe helpingtheplatform

I understand your personal concern, but based on a single religious or state
issue, should I not put a company on a list of companies who use System i?

Couldn't I say this is a lot like "guns don't kill people....."?


Seriously, should I place ~any~ arbitrary filters on such a list? What if I
don't like a person who works at a company? What if I had a bad experience
with a product from a company? What if a company outsources? What if, what
if...?

Or, should my list be "all ethical companies who use System i"? I already
have that at: www.listofethicalsystemicompanies.com

Please advise...

Don't forget Caterpillar. They manufacture lots of equipment used in

Caterpillar may not be a great choice for this section. See for
example <http://www.cofe.anglican.org/news/pr29cat06.html> and
<http://www.catdestroyshomes.org/>

I'm not taking a personal position on this, just pointing out that
it's a controversial issue and using the name to promote an ethical
image for System i could rebound.
