do you think it is ethical to make money over a tragedy ?

Corporations make billions with wars. Soldiers earn their money by killing people. Lawyers earn their money with lies. I think it's natural. Disgusting, but natural.

Where do you draw the line though? How many business are going to make money as a result of this tragedy by educational institutions now hiring security consultants to give them advice on campus security? How many people are going to buy guns to arm themselves? How many other businesses are going to inadvertently profit? It's not necessarily appropriate to point the finger at just one person or business.

Well its the American Way!

Probably not, but seems to be par for the course...

capitalism only knows one ethic - greed.

Not greed. Profit.

aye - I remember the stories about the 9-11 ribbons, how they were made in sweat shops overseas and the money going toward 9-11 was not established.

Same with the one dollar wrist bands.
