[ Start sarcastic interlude ] <- lest other's misunderstand

Let's all play "King of the Heap" and see who can get closest to the
top. Who cares that we may have to trample thousands of hapless jerks
that get in our way. Heh, that's the law of the jungle don't ya know!
And so what if the heap we're climbing is slowly but surely becoming
a dung heap due to all that trampling. Just as long as I get as 
close to the top as I can (that way I don't have to look at all those
poor suckers down below).

Making lots of money is one thing. Doing it despite the welfare of the
rest of humanity is genocidal.
