Regarding asbestos -- one of the largest users of the crap was the military. Thousands of claims from shipyard workers and refitters. Where did the govt get the balls to cash in on such "future liability"? Was it PROFIT MOTIVE? And I don't remember you actually answering my question of what motivates all these altruistic govt watchdogs to be moral and diligient. That's an important part of the discussion.
When your biggest motivating factors are finding the lowest bidder and counting up how many women and minorities are in the vendors workforce, or whether your product contains "conflict minerals" a political term that most people have to look up -- can govt POSSIBLY be making safer and sounder decisions than corporate directors?
