Well I think the role of business, I think in it's essence it is something that is, I believe it is something that happens in a community but that it's true nature and design is meant to feedback into the community and not just be something for the sole benefit of one individual. I mean I think we all have seen across the headlines the amazing abuses that can take place when business is always about maximizing wealth and I don't believe that business inherently has to be about maximizing wealth. I believe that there's great power in the market place. I believe that capitalism is by far the most efficient distributor in many ways and I think it takes capital and it utilizes it efficiently. Now that said, I think there are some values and benefits that you can use business to do more than just make money and that's where you begin to blend these and that's the challenge. I believe in society business should be more about trust. I think it has ... it's a great platform to do more than what is historically just done.
