AIG Advocacy/Badvocacy

  Took a look on Facebook (if you belong) to see what was cooking for AIG in light of the disturbing news about AIG bonuses. There were several sites but one that had many members (400+) has a picture of a pig with an AIG logo on a party hat on top of its head. The group is described as “Take part and put an end to the party AIG has been having at our economic expense. AIG is the epitome of unconscionable greed, corruption, and the sociopathic corporate mind set. Together we can unite and put an end to the vile gluttonous reign of AIG, one canceled policy, one personal choice to boycott at a time.” The language is getting more colorful as the story develops. The knives are out and my sense is that people feel better being able to vent their anger as AIG continues to be the poster boy for greed and a damaged economy. The New York Times has a good article on why we can’t let the government change the rule of law and why we must abide by our contractual agreements.
