:34:00
Well I knew at that time
I had been in the business.
:34:02
I had sold oil
to the paper mills.
:34:04
I knew all the owners.
:34:05
I had been in politics.
:34:06
I knew the people
in the towns.
:34:08
I knew not one constituent
of the paper mills
:34:11
wanted to have
the river polluted.
:34:13
And yet here the river
was being polluted.
:34:15
And it was more or less as
if we created a doom machine.
:34:19
In our search for wealth
and for prosperity
:34:22
we created something thats
going to destroy us.
:34:32
The traders who are
involved in the market
:34:34
are not guys
who are
:34:36
whose moral fibre
:34:37
when it comes to
environmental conditions
:34:39
are going to be
rattled at all
:34:42
Theyre seeing dollars
and theyre making money.
:34:44
Brokers dont stay away
from copper
:34:47
because it violates
their religious beliefs
:34:49
or your environmental
policies.
:34:52
No.
:34:53
There are times
when you think about it
:34:55
but it's fleeting.
:34:58
It really is
a fleeting moment.
:34:59
It's like yeah
oh yeah yeah
:35:02
well a town is being
polluted down there in Peru
:35:04
but hey this guy
needs to buy some copper.
:35:07
Im getting paid
a commission too.
:35:11
Our information that we receive
does not include anything
:35:13
about the environmental
conditions
:35:15
because until
the environmental conditions
:35:17
become a commodity
themselves or are being traded
:35:20
then obviously we will not
have anything to do with that.
:35:24
It doesnt come into
our psyche at all.
:35:27
It's so far away and
it's you hardly hear
:35:30
anything about it.
:35:30
I mean keep in mind there are
things going on right in our
:35:32
backyards for god sake.
:35:36
We trade live hogs.
:35:37
I mean there are so many pigs
in the state of Carolina
:35:40
and theyre
polluting the rivers
:35:42
but how often do you

At Multinational Monitor
weve put together a list
:35:53

criminals of the 1990s.
:35:56
We went back and looked at
all the criminal fines that
