My friend is actually writing her PhD thesis as we speak on the social responsibilities of corporations, and investors. Most people continue to remove themselves of any responsibility on what companies they invest in do. This is very true.

Unlike @Eden, I actually do consider myself an "owner" of the company when I buy stock in it (if we shareholders aren't the owners, than who is?). So, I choose companies that I can generally feel good about, recognizing it's a complex world.

If I can make those kind of returns selecting companies I feel reasonably proud to own, why would I choose to own companies that are at best dubious? looks like the debate has started, whether or not you wanted to!
