To make this statement more clear: an investor can choose to be ethical or unethical.
Those who choose to be unethical are favoring their investment over ethics, and that is a failure. Did you read my first post?

So we're in agreement: capitalism isn't always ethical. I see that as a failure. If you don't, that's your opinion and you're welcome to it. I believe more strongly in ethics than I believe in financial stability. I'm pretty sure that's been consistent for the past 4 years I've been on TFP.
