taro,

Re: please rest assured that one doesn't successfully build a company from scratch and survive for 27 years based on being deceitful and defrauding your client base. OK?

To take the sarcastic position here, I'm suggesting that capitalism at its heart is a criminal operation. Here's a prime example of a company that was praised to the rafters in the late 1990s as the exemplar of the "best of breed" new capitalism models. Enron was nothing but a bucket shop on steroids, and they had a hell of a lot of cheerleaders, now didn't they?

Capitalists have no shame. Just look at Bernie Ebbers perjuring himself this week on the witness stand. What a duplicitous scoundrel, and this is what Wall Street hero-worships.

We live in a sick society. When our CEOs aren't robbing the public blind, we have a military that's on a mad adventure to create the first totally horrible world-wide police state empire. How ugly can American capitalist pigs get? Pretty damn ugly.
