How is it legal for people with exorbitant amounts of money and power to carry on unethical practices that adversely affect masses and masses of people/life? i.e. Mountaintop Removal Mining, oil spills everywhere, Mortgage fraud, false logic on the news, politicians trying to beat the competition instead of doing the job they're elected to, big businesses avoiding huge amounts of taxes, untested/known toxic chemicals in our food, air, and water?
It seems like these things are going on all the time, and I don't remember anything in the Constitution saying, "What they don't know won't hurt them." Why are they getting away with this shit?
