Dave,
It is not true that everyone believed that it made sound business sense to work children and adults to death.

That is just your opinion.
I say it was a fact that it made sound business sense, and that everyone did know it.
Here is why I hold that opinion.
Until legislation forced employers to improve conditions those who did so voluntarily were not successful.
All Owen's experiments failed, and he was forced off the board of his mill to save that from collapse too.
Now, why do you hold your opinion?

I make no false accusations.
You accused me of lying. I have not.

You, once again, refuse to admit that you were wrong in saying so
I said nothing wrong.
Now you call me "a liar and a cheat!"
We are only discussing history Dave. What is wrong with you people that you are incapable of reasoned discussion?
