> it looks to me like a lot of assholes are not only getting away with murder and ecological destruction, they're getting rich off of it, despite any and all laws to the contrary (1) You are comparing murder to ecological destruction. To me that seems like you're ethical code compares the two, which I have to question. Ethically, to me, creating a dam to give water and food to millions is better than murder.... I realize that's probably not the case, you were thinking of, but you should consider what you think of as right or wrong, then imagine the exact opposite. Do you want those perfectly enforced? (2) Usually, the people you don't like are using laws to get away with ecological destruction. Perfect enforcement would only make it worse.
