Privatize, privatize, privatize

Enron, Worldcom, Exxon Valdez, mine catastrophes, Hewlett-Packard, outrageous big-oil profits and pump prices, and now the fire in North Carolina. Why would anybody in their right mind want to trust the private sector to do the right thing (the right thing meaning having responsiblity beyond lining their pockets with cash)? Would I trust my retirement to the private sector? No fucking way! Would I support relaxing regulations on these greedy bastards? Absolutely not. I'm sure that if we let down on standards, we'll soon have hot and cold running toxic waste in our kitchens. The bright side is that cancer would get us before we felt really upset about the e-coli we'd get from the private sector cutting corners in the spinach plant.
