It's very disturbing the level of corporate crime that goes unpunished, and the ability of large corporations to get away with a slap on the wrist for the gravest of grievances. Unfortunately, none of the examples in the article are particularly surprising, as I have read about several of them in Russel Mokhiber's Corporate Crime and Violence, published in 1984. Other interesting documentaries about the history of corporations and such ethics include "The Corporation," and more recently "Why we fight."
In the face of all these inhumane acts and practices, it's hard to know what to think about the corporations who commit unspeakable crimes behind their backs, then turn around and sell us the fruits of their pillage of the Earth.
