I am betting you did not really know much about the terrorists who "organized" companies in the old days. Arson, intimidation and the general destruction of corporate property was not unusual. Don't forget, I grew up with those old guys in the Teamsters. Petty crimes compared to the horror perpetrated these days by mulltinational corporations. I am thinking that global markets and multinational corporations are a bit more complex for you to understand given your card carrying union status. |

That does beg the question "why hasn't Holder prosecuted any of those cases"? For reasons I don't understand, we don't really criminally prosecute many of the big and serious corporate horrors. Even your current governor's former company got off the hook with a big fine. |

I'd bet far more rail accidents and fatalities are the result of corporate decisions, such as deferred maintenance, shorting of crews, working of crews too many hours. You righties are funny guys, in that you will readily dismiss all manner of corporate misbehavior, but if you can pin a rap on a working stiff, you're all for it. Sort of like texting to the girl friend while supposedly driving the train? Crash! |

They are already blaming a couple of those accidents on "management" for making them sit in a chair and pay attention 8 hours a day to earn their pay... |
