We don't blame the animal when a tiger or bear attacks a trainer;
we figure that tigers and bears have certain behavior patterns and will follow those patterns despite all training. We don't think of the tiger or bear as evil; the animal is just doing what comes naturally. We might place a tiger or bear in a cage to observe it, but we would never leave a small infant next to either animal.

We should take the same attitude toward corporations. It's in the nature of corporations to make the highest profit possible; customers, employees and environment be damned. Some corporations are "trained", the current management chooses to do the right thing at the cost of profits. Still, this is unnatural behavior for a corporation and any corporation can revert at any time. There's nothing evil about it; the corporation is essentially mindless and will do exactly as designed unless we construct a cage of law and regulation to control corporate behavior

1. Generally the animal is executed on the spot.

2. I think you just came up with the best idea for economic recovery for this country.
Right now the corporations control the keys to their own cages, which they use as needed.
When they attack, kill them off and sell the meat.
