So, here are two questions that can be looked at a number of ways:

1) Because corporations cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment, they require regulation.

2) The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders.

My view is that companies are tools for making money, and thus to expect them to do anything but maximize profit for shareholders is to expect too much of them. That’s why you can’t trust them and need to regulate them.

Would it be NICE if they could be trusted, and so you don’t need to regulate them? Sure. It would also be nice if I could eat all the ice cream I want and not get fat.

So, this would lead me to agree with BOTH #1 and #2, but I’m sure they’re viewed as conflicting statements. Agreeing with 1 makes you a Lib’rul, and #2 makes you a Conservaturd.
