"...and absolutely not what anyone's talking about. Do you think Tom referred to the evil practice of voting one's shares?"

I was replying to what you said.
But in regards to Tom point. I know I wouldn't buy shares of a company which I thought did evil things- because I know that by my buying shares of a company it is a vote of support for that company and it makes me a party to it [many people applied this principle in regards companies who were doing business in the apartheid South Africa]. It's a principle that you apparently don't get.
Nor does it appear that Soros has any use for this principle [except probably to do the opposite].
