You misrepresent my point.

My point is that the officers and directors of Goldman Sachs and the other big Wall Street speculators destroyed the lives of millions of people, spurring not only suicides but financial ruin. They did so ENTIRELY to satiate their greed. They did so with absolutely no regard for their potential victims.

The officers and directors at Union Carbide (like other major corporations) exhibited the same lack of concern for the everyday people who stood in the way of their fortunes and killed thousands in a single day.

Given that, are they less culpable (NOTE oh "Sir Look at the Squirrel, I DID NOT he is not culpable) say than the poor, often black, kid who goes into a convenience store with a gun and kills the clerk?

NEITHER should be lit on fire, BUT in the classist and racist American criminal justice system, the poor black kid IS while the officers and directors of its major corporations sip champagne, buy elections, and dictate political party platforms.

And you dare call that "justice?"
