So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
Meanwhile in the forest / In a parliament of trees, The ink will crack and dry all up, But the compass will swing anyways. And we don't need mathematics / And we don't need submarines — Rheostatics, Northern Wish |

An interesting Harris Interactive survey identifies America’s 60 most respected corporations.
The new is not good for some companies, most notably American automotive manufacturing.
DaimlerChryser (nominally American anymore) is the higest of The Big Three at 49, Ford is at 55 and General Motors is at 57. Of the three, only Chrysler’s rating increased and only marginally.
Contrast this with Toyota and Honda at 9 and 14 respectively.
Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway makes the list this year, but didn’t last year. This is likely a result of Buffet’s tremendous philanthropic gesture this year. They also get my vote for Best Website of the List, and I don’t even have to look at the others to say that.
Apple is up, but still only number 22. Microsoft is number one, and up by less than Apple by ranking but still up.
3M ranks number 3, and probably likes it that way — it’s good for the brand. Take a look at that URL too. The guy who registered that one deserves a raise…a big one.
I find it interesing that UPS ranks higher than FedEx. A couple of years ago FedEx was getting all the press. Lowes and Home Depot are in a virtual tie…that’s a war to watch.
I can’t help but wonder who would appear on a similar Canadian list. A lot of banks, I’d be willing to bet.
