13. That's what makes me so furious..
...about these arrogant, greedy corporations. From the banks to these agriculture
companies--they knew DAMN WELL what the result of their "worst practices" would be.
However, at the time that they were doing them--they were raking in billions and
were swept up in greed. They didn't give a damn. They knew what the negative
consequences of their actions would be. They didn't want to hear it. They
were too busy listening to the cash registers go cha-ching.

So now, they hang their heads. Oh, we're sorry. Most of the rice is contaminated.
Or, the banks say...we're sorry we blew up the entire economy by making crap loans
and packaging them up as triple-A-rated securities that destroyed the entire financial
sector. Ooops, our bad.

They apologize after the truckloads of cash are secure in their accounts. Many people
sounded the alarm bells--about Wall Street, these ag companies and people continue to
sound alarm bells about big Pharma. They all deny that they're doing anything wrong.
They also position anyone who questions them as crazy conspiracy tin foilers.

So tired of all of this. Companies that destroy and make money off of destroying
should be shut down. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them now? Do they want
a prize for admitting their failures. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they asked
for some kind of bailout.
