Sadly, we'd rather sell our souls.

I'd regulate the hell out of business. Especially big corporations. Conservatives generally decry regulation. They want free rein for business. But when a company such as BP turns the Gulf of Mexico into a cesspool of oil, Republicans blame the Obama administration for not doing enough to prevent such catastrophes. But it's the very lack of regulation -- long-espoused by Republicans and conservatives -- that gave BP leeway to do as it pleased. For the sake of making profits. I'd regulate the banks, the insurance industry, the oil companies. You name it. They're mostly all run by greedy capitalists. With no or little concern for the common good. Capitalists can't be trusted. They'll exploit anything in sight. The seas. The forests. The skies. They want to turn the entire planet into money-making schemes. And up to now, we've let them get away with it. Because we haven't got our priorities straight. Sadly, we'd rather sell our souls. And our environment. And for what? A few bucks. --Jim Broede
