There's no point in being the richest man on the cinder that used to be Earth, so an evil CEO looking to reshape the country into something favorable to his company (over a dozen or so of the little people's dead bodies) is preferable in many ways to the evil that could potentially be in charge in January of 2017. </em><br /><br />These sound like the words of a person who is not familiar with the plot of the <em>Resident Evil</em> film franchise.<br /><br />Or the backstory to <em>Alien</em>.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703211229982182936noreply@blogger.com
