Wouldn't corporations that kill people just to increase their profit margain
deserve the death sentence more then humans do? Afterall a corporation isn't
conscious is it? >>

There's a one major flaw in your statment. Why would a corporation want to
kill their own customers? It cost money and overhead to create new
customers. It's far far cheaper to keep your customers and make them repeat
customers. According to the Law of Inbalance, 20% of customers who are
repeat customers provide 80% of cashflow and the overhead is low because they
are already aware of your prducts and brand and need no introduction. To
kill their customers would NOT increase their profit margin, but make it far
more expensive because such actions would increase the overhead of sale
effort, setting up paperwork, etc etc.

Frankly I don't think from your words that you really understand the nature
of corporations or business and I'm not sure you really want to. You just
wnat to go into space and that's good, but wishing won't make it happened.
You gotta do the work, dude!
