Milton,

Far off the mark, once again.

It is dangerous for the community, not for the company who would like to
make a fat profit out of it.

P.D. A company that does not want to make a profit of something is called a
"non-profit corporation". A for-profit corporation has capital and
investors who expect to get a return on their investment. I very much doubt
that they would put the interest of the community over their R.O.I. (return
on investment).
