[Platt] You must be kidding, as if Russia, China, Cambodia and other non- capitalist countries don't grow, process and sell tobacco. [Krimel] To the extent that they are, they are participating in a capitalist enterprise. [Platt] Do you blame capitalism for millions of automobile deaths worldwide, too? [Krimel] I don't know. Do you? If the shoe fits... But that is the problem with defining Quality by counting corpses. I say, let God sort them out. [Platt] What's really disturbing is your making the Holocaust morally equivalent to a legal tobacco industry. That's sick. [Krimel] You are the one who insists that morality is simply a matter of counting dead bodies. I agree completely that it is very sick indeed.
