Mark Cuban charged with insider trading

The article makes a good point regarding why Cuban would risk what he did considering the potential poss would be almost meaningless to him. Of course insider trading has many ethical issues that we have previously discussed in class. Like the article says Im the sure the fine that Cuban is likely to get will have little to no impact on his financial position, simply because he has so much, but could hurt his reputation in future endeavors.

Supporting self-interest

I think the Obama campaing acted in an amoral way in which they used the quote to promote self interest. This kind of supports the "Myth of Amoral Business" in a sense that they were simply promoting self-interest.

Black Church Sues to Close 'Redneck Shop'

I dont agree with the merchandise that the store sells but I can't see any legal reason why the store should be closed. Of course it offends a lot of people but there are numerous other stores that offen people as well. This store just seems to push the envelope a little farther than most.
