Maybe you should move to France.
Why can't we just train and educate people about ETHICS in this country so they will do the right thing? THEN I wouldn't have a problem with it. And you know, we CAN go completely green with technology that is safe. It IS possible. Go to T Boone Pickens website and the RePower America website and take a look around.

I would probably really like France, except that everyone over there smokes, and I detest cigarettes.

That is not possible in the human race. It will not happen here and it does not happen in the rest of the world. Power and money trumps ethics in everyday life.

I don't believe that. Of course we can teach ethics, and should. If people didn't get away with unethical practices in this country then people would be more responsible. But we actually create a culture where unethical practices are encouraged. Why is that?

Didn't they teach you about ethics in medical school? And don't they encourage it in the medical field? At least in the end you're in?
