JOHN LONGWORTH

This is the definition of good business that most conservative a business interests prefer. They do not wish to differentiate among the businesses nor do they wish to imply that businesses have any other obligations or desirable characteristics. By this definition, a business that makes money producing adult pornography is as good as one that develops pharmaceuticals; one that creates well paying jobs is as good as one that creates minimum wage jobs or even exports jobs overseas. Complying with the law in a democracy has never been a definition of good citizenship. It is a minimum duty to which all are obliged some businesses enhance the quality of life; others diminish it. This is where many differ with Mr. Longworth.
