i suspect that this is why we see companies over the last 30 years really cutting back on r&d and labor costs as much as possible. externalizing more and more costs, because of this more shorter-term mentality. the other danger, i think, is related to shareholders themselves. i think that this is one we are starting to do a little work on and it is troubling to me, this realization that shareholders amongst the corporate constituencies, shareholders hold the most risk. shareholders are protected by limited liability, legally protected by limited liability that is defined to encourage a certain level of risk taking. that is how innovation happens. but when you start to put them in that risk preferring constituent, you elevate them to the top and you get riskier and riskier behavior. >> so, one thing the said to me in your discussion about this panel, miguel, one of the things that was interesting to me about "the lorax," you said that -- i said the perhaps the onceler was not a bad person. he shows empathy. he says things like "i felt sad to see them all go, but business is business and
