FROM THE OFFICE OF STRATEGIC CONFUSION AS TO WHAT MATTERS Lindy, Re: Come on, give this country a break! You are basically confused. The oil companies are not the country, in spite of your best efforts to confound the two. It was the "blue eyed sheiks" i.e. shakedown artists from Houston who were predominantly culpable in one of the largest regional transfers of wealth in recent history. In 1999, California paid $7 Billion for electricity. In 2000 and 2001 the bill came to $54 Billion. You do the math. End Run is bankrupt, ruins California's rainy day fund, is in cahoots with the jerks at Dynegy, Mirant, AES, Duke and the rest of the cabal to use market power to fleece the consumer and you want me to bend over and realize that the welfare of a handful of energy company executives and their handmaidens in Washington is more important than taking the country back from these thieves? I'm hoping that America gets a break. You are absolutely right. A break from the corruption and callousness of the creeps in the corner offices.
