> Imagine that ten people in a giant company called ACME made some decisions that led to 50,000 people getting hurt. ACME also employs 100,000 hard working people, representing perhaps 0.3-0.4 million family members dependent upon that income.
I employ thousands of men, women and children in my mines, many in the poorest and most conflict-ridden parts of the world. The gemstones we produce are some of the most highly valued products out there - what could produce more happiness than an engagement ring?
And yet despite all the good I do, when I want to hunt and kill one or two human beings for sport, apparently it's still illegal. Even when I offered to use people who were terminally ill anyway, and I offered to compensate their families appropriately.
I can only hope that in the future, our political leadership will be more rational and less emotional about these things
