Why there is corporate evil

George Clooney has been polishing his image as a left wing man of the people who is not afraid to speak out against presidents or corporations. He speaks out against atrocities in Darfur, writes spiteful editorials about Dubya, drives an electric car and makes movies about evil corporations.

When asked recently whether he felt conflicted doing advertisements for Nestle, a multinational with all sorts of controversial practices in poor countries, Clooney answered, "I'm not going to apologize to you for trying to make a living every once in a while. I find that an irritating question." Unsmilingly.

This is a principle that seems to guide many people: Take an interest in all of the social problems that don't have anything to do with your lifestyle or career. As for the areas where you could feasibly make a difference in the world, mind your own business and just do your job.

And if George Clooney needs the money that badly, what hope for the rest of us?
