Victor,re:"lax acctg". Compare to WHO, ENRON, WCOM, ... TYCO ? Then, that is a 'general/universal problem' -> MONEY. Chinese learned that one time and Chairman Mao came about to do the cleanup once. I'm not a historian, don't know how ofter 'society' needs that kind of cleaning. I do know those cleaning process is required once in awhile. Probably is not 'time-based', rather is the 'extreme-based'. Are we (USA) there yet? With the advance in USA's accounting and math, we have the advantage of '3 sides of the supply and demand equation' (FED is on the 3rd side), then 'fuzzy math', 'vodoo econ'. The NBA/NFL/Pro-sports should keep statisitc on the giant scoreboard (BIG NUMBERS) to provide minutes by minutes data on: 'earning of the team's player on the field'. Put a cap on the 'earning' per game. If one team spent too much, they may have to declare 'bankruptcy' by forfeiting the game, since it will have no player left on the field. This will allows fair competition. So Lakers will have "Shag" + "bryant" + "unemployed on the street" some of the time (estimate is 60%).
