Just grab those MBAs the instant they graduate (marketing opportunity:
graduation gowns with prisoner stripes), and throw them right into
prison - where they belong! - and after a few years when they are
released, their ethics will be vastly improved.  That new higher ethics
up there in the lofty managerial class will certainly trickle down to
low-caste workies such as myself.  Somebody tell Bill Bennett; this
could be the key to Renewing America's Morality!
