We've gone way off topic here, but I seem to remember seeing news video of a caravan of tanks, etc. leaving Iraq and heading over the border to Syria. I have to wonder now if that's where the WMD's went.

Do you think ANY corporate executive would survive if they were doing business in the way you are suggesting ?

 

I think the forefathers of the US had a notion that business should operate under rules that benefit the commonweal - not the other way around.

 

"Too big to fail"? What would Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison et al have said?
