Or consider the tobacco industry. They have the perfect product. It is legal, addictive and priced to fit every budget. The only problem is that they keep killing off their customers so they have to addict children to assure their market. Who do you think is guilty there? The CEO's who make the decisions? Maybe it's the farmers who insist their way of life will be destroyed if tobacco is banned. It could be the lobbyists who bribe the members of congress to support their clients. Or perhaps it's the tame scientists who skew their data to support their employers?

If ever there was a justifiable death sentence for corporations this is it.

Consider that we are talking, not just a corporation but an entire industry. There is probable collusion here as the corporations work together to kill more people, uh, I mean, sell more tobacco.

Either way this is a case where the media did its job and opened our eyes to the killers in business suits.
