little attention will be paid to who exactly is sponsoring the event: the beer giant Anheuser-Busch; the International Bottled Water Association, a trade group; and EDS, a subsidiary of the technology company Hewlett-Packard.
I don’t think the author of the article realized he was reporting on the foxes guarding the hen house. Conflicts of interest were probably difficult even in 1789. However, as the federal gubment has ballooned in size and scope, there appears to be a conflict of interest in all facets of government and the process.
