And when the corporate executives have a legal and moral obligation to
generate income for the stockholders (barring a stockholder's resolution
or other similar instrument dictating otherwise), what is one to do when
"vast profits" and "vast evil" lie in the same direction?

Even Google, with it's "Don't Be Evil" policy, finds it difficult sometimes,
because there *are* no clear answers.  Yes, it's a little evil to provide
a censored Google to the Chinese mainland.  On the other hand, would it be
more evil, or less evil, to *totally* withold all Google?
