Can I start a company that electrocutes people...yet prosper?
Kellogg Brown & Root and Halliburton have been awarded a multi-million $$$ no-bid contract in Iraq...

Despite the fact that they are mired in lawsuits because their past electrical work has killed people?

If I call my local building department and they find one 2x4 out of place.. they will shut me down. Yet Halliburton and KBR.. can run faulty electrical and no one says a WORD?

Does anyone see a problem with this?
