	NRDC: Healing the Hudson River
		GE began using PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls, substances used for a wide range of industrial purposes) in the late 1940s.
		GE's media bombardment against the Hudson cleanup was arguably the biggest sustained anti-environmental campaign ever waged; though the company refuses to divulge how much it spent, the New York Times estimated that it spent upwards of $60 million in 2000 alone.
		But GE tried to have them set before engineers and others could look at such crucial factors as water currents and the type of material (mud or rocks) to be dredged at specific locations, and before the public had an opportunity to scrutinize and comment on them.

	Ge Hong [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Ge Hong maintained that for each minor moral transgression one committed, the Director of Fates would subtract three days from his or her lifespan; for each major transgression, three hundred days would be deducted.
		Ge thought the solution to this problem would be to use examinations to select men on the basis of their knowledge of the classics and administrative matters.
		With Ge's overriding sense of the importance of morality and his overwhelming urge for permanency in the form of immortality, he reconciled Confucian and Daoism by saying that both were trying to improve the condition of mankind and that practicing Confucian virtues was necessary for attaining immortality.

	Genetically Engineered Food - Global Issues
		GE Food is an expensive technology that the farmers of the developing nations would not be able to afford easily.
		The way in which we reach the answer to the question, "are GE foods safe?" is where a lot of the problem lies.
		A quick acceptance of GE foods without proper testing etc. could show corporate profitability to be very influential, while a thorough debate and sufficient public participation would ensure that real social and environmental concerns are in fact adhered to.

		A GE representative asserted that his company’s willingness to enter new lines of business was dependent upon "the extent to which they can discourage competition." Eight months later they had an agreement which allowed GE the right to fix prices.
		GE and Carboloy were fined $20,000 each and International GE only $10,000 — even though the profits GE made through its conspiracy with Krupp must have run into many millions of dollars.
