Greedy Company Knowingly Killed People

This particular news item from today disgusts me in so many ways.

It appears that a maritime waste dump off the coast of the Cote d'Ivoire was known to be highly toxic and dangerous, but for the sake of a quick buck, the company was still willing to dispose of it in the waters off a populated coast.

This is capitalism and greed at their worst. Since when does healthy competition include wilfully endangering the lives of innocent people? The company involved with the operation, of course, claim that they "intended no harm". Yeah right.

When will we bloody capitalist "civilized" Western nations learn to respect the lives of all people, and think about something other than our own pockets?
