Ethics and politics.

I heard the news in BBC broadcast: co-workers sit at their desks for 36 hours, working on an IT problem. No food or sleep. They live like this for years before disease or mental collapse overrides their egos. How does one bring ethics into the IT world without infringing upon others' rights to be unethical?

I also listen to a story from some workers who once worked at Freel. NET. They loved the company. They were bright, active, buying new houses and cars and stuff. They seemed like nice, intelligent people. However they were laid off. What kind of ethics is it when companies are interviewing for positions that the heads of the companies know won't be there in 4 weeks? Are any morals involved in this escaped?

I don't think so.

Another thing: the people losing their cars and houses, right now, because of the Dot.com crash wish they had been practical like deceased people, from Santa Barbara. Many of them, as they move up the pecking order, in these corporations, knew the layoffs were coming soon. They saw the bottom line of their corporate holdings, and did nothing to prepare co-workers for the horrors of job loss.

What would happen if IT personnel knew they were about to be laid off? Many of them would stay at their jobs until the final day probably. They wouldn't run off into the street, immediately, looking for a new job. The powers that Be, sometime like to play god and treat their employees without the respect they deserve. Too bad.

Ethics has its place in the IT world. It is just too bad we have to look so hard for it in the leaders and creative geniuses that sometimes fail to lead with distinction and honor. Those that are honorable men are the ones who, although they may fail, can always find friends, among the laid off staff to help them again.

Politics that is well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it, anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job.

People don't understand politics clearly. Generally speaking, most of countries' politics are dark, but didn't all the people know that. Especially in voting. Some candidate use all of the methods to gain the benefit that they want, bribing is the common artifice.

Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds. Political politics consist in ignoring facts; all political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies. Why are politicians so eager to be president? What is it about the job that makes it worth revealing, on national television, that you have the ethical standards of a slime-coated piece of industrial waste? About forty percent of the people vote democrat. About forty percent vote republication. Of those eighty percent, most wouldn't change their votes if Adolph Hitler was running against Abe Lincoln-or against FDR...That Leaves twenty percent of the people who swing back one way or another.... the true independents...That twenty percent controls the destiny of the country. Politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. Politicians are the same all over They promise to build a bridge even where there is no water. America is just the country that how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. The politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society.
