Before Enron, I used to think there was political corruption here and there; I even thought that I might be overly cynical. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I have grossly underestimated political corruption. It's a nauseous feeling. jttmab

"Chief Justice Tom Phillips argues that the real impropriety would be to return the money. "To return contributions now from one group years after they were made," he said in a formal statement that must rank as one of the great classics of weaselly self-justification, "could signal that the justices had prejudged any dispute against Enron that might come before us." Hello, opalapril! I read that article, too! It was informative.I am going to send a copy to my mom because the article summarizes Enron's collapse coherently. Thanks for your post! I read many of your earlier posts after George W. Bush was elected. I was impressed so I hope you'll post again. Cheers, Mephisto
