And no, I'm not playing your game.
This NG is not about politics or companies - that's my *very* point.
If you did play you wouldn't win. There isn't a company on the planet
that's as evil. Those dealing in alcohol might, just might, be a
very distant second. Firearms companies don't come close. Fast food
doesn't come close.
I want to close this part off by itself.
I don't believe in a "scale of evil" there's just good and evil. Therefore
"as" evil has no real meaning.
Almost every publicly traded corporation will do *everything* it can *get
away with* to make profits. Why? This comes as a shock to most of the
unwashed masses, but 3% of adult males have anti-social personality
disorder. This same 3%, being freed of such dreadful limitations as a
conscience, are able to rise to the top of every industry and business by
lying, stealing, cheating, and even killing their way to their chosen
reward. And they do it with NO REMORSE - unless caught.
The tobacco companies were "caught" more than 50 years ago.
And they're still getting away with it.
(If there was a way to make chocolate more addictive you can bet they'd make
it so. And if in say 200 years the surgeon general found chocolate addictive
AND deadly - the chocolate companies would fight to stay in the game as long
as possible too.)
And they did. They mixed chocolate with sugar. I'll bet few
people have ever tasted unsweetened chocolate.
But last I heard, chocolate doesn't cause lung cancer and emphysema.
In fact, it's supposed to be good for you. That and red wine.
I also bet if the "legalize pot" movement ever get a good footing that big
tobacco will try to find a way to become "bigger cannabis". What I'm trying
to say is that a preditor is a preditor - as all those people that thought
killer whales were cute found out.
Rumor has it they've copyrighted Panama Red and other names.
But I'll bet they'd have trouble with the product. They're best
at peddling a highly addictive product.
They could mix it with tobacco. That would make it addictive.
Mind you I do NOT *sympatize* with tobacco execs. I'd take them (and the
rest of the board rooms) load the whole 3% on some planes, and unload them
all over an active volcano.
We agree. However, I'd throw in the stock holders AND the
employees. The stock holders need to make money honestly and the
employees need to get honest jobs.
