I think the problem is is that we only interact with the top percentage of disabled people who can hold down jobs and are all hugs and smiles.

We don't interact with the disabled people who will molest you if given the chance.

My own mentally disabled uncle raped his brothers when he was younger and was able to over power his younger brothers.

My friend was continuously molested by his Down's syndrome cousin when they were younger.

The issue being is that we only look at the kiddos that are all similes and hugs and tend to aggerate all disabled people to be like corky.

When the reality is that they all aren't that way. There was a story in the news where a woman was killed by her own developmentally disabled son.

I do agree with you, that IQ has nothing to do with happiness. My uncle now holds down a bagging job at the grocery store. He is a happy man. However, 40 years latter I can still see the scars he left on my uncles. Physically and mentally.

Of course my followup question to that answer is what if a 100 million dollar company does 10 billion dollars worth of damage?

It was a small chemical company in West Virginia that ruined the drinking water in a city there not too long ago.

Suppose a small benzene manufacturer loses containment of their tanks and absolutely destroy the drinking water of Los Angeles? That would be trillions of dollars in damages, and make a desert of LA. No company can be worth that much. And thus the company will declare BK and the owners will move on with their life and no one can live in LA.
