When people die if they don't go to heaven they go to hell. That would be, theoretically, when the devil would take the hindmost. Kind of like "kill 'em all, let God sort them out".

Profits ARE the sole duty of a corporation. If that means competition goes out of business then that's the competition's fault for not being up to the fight. Or are you saying that Harley Davidson is evil because Indian Motor Company has gone out of business while competing with them not once but twice? Why is it Harley's fault that Indian didn't have the ability to be profitable even when there were only two motorcycle companies in America? Harley is just selling the best bike they can for a price that is market friendly, if that drives the competition under what is Harley supposed to do about it? Make less popular bikes?!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the fact that you would equate being a good quality engineer and trying to make sure my company ships a high quality product with Eichman shows that you're downright certifiable. We just make communications software man, no Jews on the trains here, got a few in the boardroom though.

515 - "Profits ARE the sole duty of a corporation. "

As corporations exist with the acquiesence and succor of we the people, and their sole contribution to our society is this 'profit', then we the people, have the duty to assure that they profit our society as a whole. If they cost our society more than they profit our society, then we have the right and the duty to rein in the corporation, or totally destroy the corporation ability to cost our society, as they are stealing from our society. As a society, we make the laws, and can and should punish law breakers.
