Profits over morals

In your Oct. 11 Herald-Leader edition, I saw another full-page ad that promotes the sale of alcoholic beverages. I looked up the meaning of “scruple” in the dictionary, and the first two words were moral concern. Do you readily and easily disregard your moral concern for profits?

Somewhere today, someone will lose his or her life on a roadway, caused by alcohol. I ask you, where are your scruples?
