The "corporate crap" isn't brought to light everyday...doesn't mean it doesn't occur. One or two sacrificial lambs doesn't stop corporate crime. Huge corporations that put profits above safety, human suffering, disease and death in fact does occur every day! If not, why are people dying of AIDS by the millions in Africa when there are drugs that could slow this? Why are people starving world-wide when there is food rotting in warehouses? I could go on for days...these are not simple problems and don't always have simple answers but the one thing that is true is that if the rich and powerful really put human life above profits, all could be dealt with!

Yeah,Somer,if you could get the Warlords in Africa to stop massacres,and an effective UN to force the safe distribution of food and drugs, and stop the jungle tribes from initiating their young men into manhood by raping them(Nat'l Geo) that'd be a start! You imply that the USA is the reason for all the evils. Evil men rule everywhere and their first and only duty is to prolong their stay in power. History is rife with those stories.

Didn't say it was all our fault...as you say, there are wealthy and powerful folks everywhere standing in the way! My point is that society can only be changed by those with the power to change it! In this country, power comes from wealth!
