But would you work for a cigarette company ? Would you work for a company that makes land mines ? Would you work for a company that buys "blood diamonds" from Africa ? Would you work for a logging company in the Amazon?
Or, does it not matter what business your company is in, as long as what it does is legal and you do your job professionally ?
