See that is how something should be responded to, but all the same, the policy was written by the courts and not by the lawmakers. It just makes me angry that our courts do so much of this whenever that is not their responsibility. It seems like the lawmakers slack and the judicial system is stuck enforcing poorly thought out laws.
Which is why I do not hold the corporations responsible, if the laws were written differently, in such a way as to limit their power is some way, it would make for a better situation. I mean seriously who has not looked at a loophole in a law and exploited it for their own personal gain? If the drinking laws were changed to 18 in the US would you still wait until you are 21? No, morality does not always encompass legal matters. You would do as much as the law allows you to do.
