We need to recognize that the situation in Ferguson speaks to broader challenges that we still face as a nation.

I admire companies that give back to communities. It is an absolute essential for organizations to watch, mitigate, and improve their impact on the environment, people, communities, their health and overall well-being. But this is a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition.
In all highly civilised communities Pretence is prominent, and sooner or later invades the regions of Literature.
