1. Adam Smith said some negative things about corporations.  He claimed they would rob 
the working men of their 
independence.  Hmm... does that prediction stand the test of time?

2. Corporations don't have to kill people for profit... that's the government's job.  
Doesn't the government wage wars and 
oppress the third world to create a "favorable" climate for US investment?

Don't be insolent.  Everyone knows that the US government represses growth in the 
third world in order to have a 
source of cheap labor and natural resources.  This relationship has been going on 
between the industrial world and the 
non-industrial world for hundreds of years, so it's amazing that some clueless wonder 
like you doesn't realize it by now.  
Are you even paying attention?
