230. Yes an employee owned Blackwater would be
MORE acceptable to me than it's current setup. Now, in my system a company like Blackwater would probably be totally unnecessary and maybe outlawed. I DO NOT like the idea of a private, heavily armed and well funded militia PERIOD. They're mercenaries and I don't like mercenaries. But yes, IF Blackwater were worker owned, there would be more of a chance of any harebrained scheme being voted down than there is now.

I'd prefer to outlaw it as a company though.
