   Baffling question...I've always been confused about how people who call themselves Christians have such disregard for human life and worker safety. I suppose that wearing the mantle of "Christian" is a good mask for those who have not, and never will be, committed to the tenets of whichever particular sect of Fishtianity to which they may adhere. Somehow, being a good "Christian" gives one carte-blanche in society to mistreat your fellow human beings, and yet still maintain the facade of respectability. "Oh, he's a good Christian. He would never be involved in (insert indiscretion here)". What do you call this? Corporate theocracy? Theocratic capitalism? Tar and feathering really needs to make a comeback. For pols and corporatists/capitalists.

   As far as I know...Jew and Muslim are just as bad mantles as Christian for showing total disregard for fellow human beings or the planet.  Religion overall is total BS.  Take the "Kosher" plant in Iowa that was shut down for abusing it's totally illegal work force (including kids as young as 13 working on the kill floor).

   If we only valued life...more than the almightly dollar, then this would be a no brainer.
   
   Green farm land verses a warehouse would be a joke...but of course it's not and that is a huge tragedy.
   
   And the big company gets to stomp their feet and threaten to leave? Let them leave.. good riddence!
