This is why all owners of large businesses are scrupulously honest, and never hire lobbyists to try and get legislation to form legally enforced monopolies. This is also why the auto industry executives have always fully supported safety measures in cars. This is why defense contractors always finish on time and on budget, except in a few cases, where the company willingly takes a loss without trying to change the contract. WHY DOES TOM CRAVER ASSUME THAT NOBODY GETS INTO POWER BY USING EVERY DIRTY TRICK IN THE BOOK!!!! stan the leprechaun hacker ssc-vax!sts (soon utah-cs) ps Where's my example of the ideal rational person?
