I wish a corporations status as a legal entity conferred all potential liabilities and responsibilities upon the corp instead of just the priviledges.

Basically, if a corp is convicted of violating the law, instead of just fining it, imprison it. Immediately cease all operations andlock up the facilities. If individuals from the top to the bottom knew they would lose their job if they broke the law, they would be more likely to speak up and stop an illegal operation.

since currently they only pay some fines, they simply factor these fines into the cost of doing business and effectively ignore the law as they pass the cost of that fine on to the consumer.

One of the servers at Denny’s committed suicide this week. I always knew that working at that place could kill you.
he hung hisself. At least he did it correctly though, breaking his neck instead of strangling to death.
The armchair psychologists are out in force though. Heard the classic “permanent solution to a temporary problem” spiel tonight. Why when someone takes their life do other people immediately have to start critizing them instead of wondering, what could I have done to help. What can I learn about this disease called depression to identify someone in the future that could benefit from an encouraging word?

I’m really pissed off at the moment and working on a decent buzz, so I will add another post on this topic at a later time.

The problem with having 14,536 eBooks on your computer is deciding which of them to read first!

According to the Economist, optimists truly do see the world through rose tinted glasses. A genetic marker has been identified, a recessive gene, that predisposes affected individuals towards the processing of “positive” information. This bias is actually a genetic disorder that prevents these “optimists” from seeing the world as it truly is.

Feel sorry for them.

well, didn’t ace the macro economics exam. I missed two questions. REALLY stupid mistakes.
