Basically I think corporations should be "put in jail" if they break the law. Dumping toxic waste should not be a 25,000 dollar fine.... close the business for a period of time. Don't allow them to make money. That is the only thing they respond to. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
