Pepsico CEO should be fired

I had the misfortune of watching the CEO of PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), Indra K. Nooyi, on Cramer's Mad Money last night. She sounded like a stark-raving mad socialist. Here is my best effort at transcribing one of the most offensive statements with respect to PepsiCo's "Performance with Purpose" doctrine:

We believe that the new future is public/private partnerships – where companies feel responsible for society at large... If society has a problem with obesity, rather than say 'it is not my problem,' you work with the lawmakers, work with the regulators, legislators and NGO’s to say, “how can we address it?”

That all sounds real cheery and makes for great PR for the government-controlled media, but a company's job is to make money for its shareholders, not take responsibility for society at large. We don't need companys working with regulators to solve every perceived problem with mankind. One look at PepsiCo's website and you might think they are an environmental company instead of a food and beverage company. CEO's who lose sight of the mission of improving shareholder value should be fired. Boards who lose sight of the mission of improving shareholder value should be sued for breaching their fiduciary duties. Oh, I'm sure these folks would say that by doing these things, they are improving shareholder value, but that's doubtful. It appears to me that the board and the CEO are using shareholder money to advance their own left-wing radical agenda. American Family Association is already boycotting Pepsi for, among other things, donating money to causes that promote the radical homosexual agenda, including same sex "marriage." How, exactly does promoting the homosexual lifestyle build shareholder value?

APA discovers that people enjoy sin

The American Psychological Association has made the groundbreaking discovery that people like to sin and do not like to stop sinning. They also don't like to be told that they are sinning, so I'm sure the loons will attack me for even calling homosexuality a sin or implying the existence of God.

Despite the protestations of some, neither the APA nor anyone else has definitively proven that homosexuality is an immutable characteristic like race or gender. If it were an immutable characteristic, no one could change and the fact is, many have changed. Homosexuality is a lifestyle choice and whether you agree with me regarding its sinful nature, it remains a lifestyle choice.

Note that this is the same organization that, until 1973, included homosexuality in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). What has changed? Perhaps it has something to do with the organized effort on the part of homosexuals that began about that time in an effort to "normalize" and "mainstream" their behavior.

This recent pronouncement is little more than an attempt to try and build support for ENDA and federal hate crimes legislation because it fits their agenda. These bills are government power-grabs that will be used to squelch unpopular positions and unpopular speech. I really don't care what people do in their bedroom, but let's stop with the suggestion that the activity does not constitute a choice on the part of the participants.

UPDATE: This article implies that the committee that made the decision consisted of people who were openly gay or were gay activists. I'm. Just. Shocked.
