Go Tell It on the Mountain

This is my take on this Article...You Tell Me if This Is The Only Way To Do Business?

What Price Is Too Much Before Business Declares Itself Out of Bounds and Off Limits To Itself?


This is exactly why Harvard University is finally teaching a course in their MBA program called Ethics. Ethics is taught in other upstanding universities, along time before - so why has Harvard taken so long? And what, pray tell are the previous students of Harvard Business doing about their own lack of education from Harvard?

Or do we still blame the student (CEO) for everything under the sun?
When does a human being align his might with the subtle powers of his/her own soul - it' calling - talking - but if the body isn't listening - who should die, the person or the heart?

Go Tell It on the Mountain
A Film by Rebecca MacNeice

Larry Gibson's family roots on West Virginia's Kayford Mountain go back to the 1700s. In 1906, after being swindled by a land company representing coal mine owners (as happened to countless other mountaineers), his family found itself with only 50 acres of its original 500. Now, Gibson hangs onto his mountain and observes family traditions, despite the disappearance of landscape all around him - the result of total environmental destruction caused by mountaintop removal mining. Keeping to family and Appalachian traditions of annually visiting the family graveyard, Gibson this year took other locals, environmental activists and journalists along with him.
