"No. we're already putting enough chemicals into the air, let just put some more up there! After all when we've all stopped breathing, we'll still have the money, right? right?!?"
I agree it should be illegal. Hey maybe people could get together and sue them for like violating earth or something, after all if someones taking their money maybe they'll pay attention.Then again, that's dreaming, most people don't care enough to be bothered.
