You may have misinterpreted my observation as criticism. It was, instead, high praise. None of the standard emotives [ :-) ] seemed appropriate. There's nothing wrong with not being employed by a company because you don't agree with the company. In some professions, its a professional duty to not work for such a company. It follows that if there are _no_ employers with whom you agree then there is a mismatch between your morals and the wider culture in which you find yourself. You would then be a refugee of concience. Hopefully, your country is large and diverse enough to have a multitude of culture from which to choose in which to immerse yourself. (I'm Canadian Eh?)
