Sam:   (raising his eyebrows) Why rant against corporations? Isn’t this just noise—another angry list?

Tim:   Because at this point in history, the biggest criminals on this planet aren't 
       individuals, but organizations. They now have more rights than private individuals 
       and far less accountability.

Kris:  (impertinently) Well, why aren't more of them on the FBI's "Most Wanted List"?

Terri: (laughing sardonically) Well . . . Maybe the FBI itself is a criminal organization? 
       It certainly is not immune to political pressure. Power rarely get investigated 
       without permission by a higher power.

Tim:   (launching into a boring rant) It seems most corporations are so obsessed with 
       short-term profit that they are oblivious to the long-term harm they are causing 
       on people, ecosystems, and the future of our planet itself.

Terri: (pausing, sipping her coffee) I think several major offenders are not listed here.

Tim:   Of course not. The most skilled criminal organizations don’t show up on radar screens.
       They own them.
