That is the dumbest post I have ever seen in this forum.[/QUOTE]That post was logically exactly correct... an infinitely business centric view of the world would result in businesses offering anything they could conceivably make a buck on. I think it'd be impossible to argue that money can't be made on drugs, and child pornogrophy introduced a moral component that makes the point that businesses aren't about making moral decisions... they're about making MONEY.
