I think it would be useful to add another catagory completely out side your
chart.  It Would be a a catagory mostly for corporate business. Companies 
tend to operate for their own good, for the bottom line.  They have a
general lack of morality. They seem to avoid moral responsability, and just
move offshore, if inconvenianced. They seem also apolitcal and support
whomever they can control.  Read three books,The Arms Of Krupp,  Behind
the Nylon Curtain,  Merchants of Grain.
