If you could have a sit-down with 12 people of influence...
specifically people who head corporations, agencies or organizations which are causing the MOST HARM -- yet have the capacity to reverse it for The Common Good -- who would you choose?
(I posted this in GD but am curious who ASAHers would choose: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023233435)
I believe some individuals in charge of harmful organizations have some semblance of humanity...they have a "better angel of their nature" waiting to be revealed. I think some people (Cheney) no longer have any semblance of humanity and haven't for a long time.
Even if you can't think of individuals themselves, focus on the company/organization/agency you would choose as causing the most harm to humanity at this time.
Here are three links which may help you identify your 12.
1. http://littlesis.org/ -- a free database of who-knows-who at the heights of business and government.
2. http://www.forbes.com/sites/bruceupbin/2011/10/22/the-147-companies-that-control-everything/ -- Article "The 147 Companies That Control Everything"
3. I'm interested in focusing on women, so I'm going to check out articles such as this: "Forbest Women's Summit 2013" -- http://www.forbes.com/sites/moiraforbes/2013/05/22/forbes-womens-summit-2013-some-of-the-worlds-most-influential-women-share-insights-and-lessons-learned/
