We either elect to follow laws, rules, or customs or not. I like to think I can play the game at whatever set of rules, or lack of rules apply. I prefer to live with civilized people.
Do we jail the guys who commit crimes or not? Al Greenspan says not to jail people for committing fraud. That's odd because I worked for a bank for several years and worked in a department called "The Fraud Department" and I was informed that fraud is indeed a crime.
“Well, Brooksley, I guess you and I will never agree about fraud,” Born, in a recent interview, remembers Greenspan saying.
“What is there not to agree on?” Born says she replied.
