It seems the thing to do, before you dump toxic chemicals into the water or whatever, is to open a corporation. "Mistakes were made", after all.

This is only trumped by by sovereign immunity, for staring wars or oil spills or releasing viruses or whatever.

Don't forget absolute immunity for bad prosecutors and qualified immunity for bad cops!

Ambrose Bierce also hit the nail on the head in 1911:
