@FriedDaisy Exactly noone at the time thought ENRON was hollow and criminal.

@Richdanahuff:Thanks for agreeing Rich.I agree in what you say also.Hit the nail on the point.

@glennmach True we have not had a government for the people and by the people since the dawning of the industrial age. Lobbyist, greed military actions and big business are all interrelated

Wendy Lee Gramm was a board member of Enron. She is also a scholar at the libertarian George Mason University. Her husband is William Gramm, the guy who repealed portions of the Glass-Steagall Act and was the advisor for John McCain's campaign. And now he works for UBS. Husband. Wife. Both crazy. Look them up in Wikipedia.

Greed is good! Mark those words!

Enron backwards is Norne, what is a Norne you may ask.. seek and ye shall find. Sometimes it's somewhat fun playing with words.. although this Norne got tangled up in it's own web, something was 'inherited' from it..
