Mm..yes and no, Mr H..
I would be a fool to say that I disapproved of them totally, as I all too readily give them my money in return for the benefits of their scale, however the way that they use this power to disrupt the process of democracy in this and every other country leaves much to be desired.
I have no problem with the idea of eg Oil companies making massive profits from the rise in crude prices - hey, if the demand for my services went up I'd be the 1st to take advantage and count the cash, but as our own Claire McCaskill pointed out yesterday, why they continue to fuel that profit with tax breaks paid for by every one of us, whether we buy their product directly or not irks me.
My real bug bear with is with how large corporations operate, not the principles of their operation.
All too frequently they bully and manipulate people.
