If You, or I made it big with a "Scheme" like Ken Lay...would we become
Like Him?

Would we lose our conscience that's kept us posting here looking for like minded folks because we have "INTEGRITY!"

or....would we suddenly assume that the company we created for greed and fun because we were "so sharp" was ruined because we hired the "wrong people" to run it for us?

Would we think that because we gave so much "benevolent money" to the Houston Symphony and Charities that Texas Citizens hold "dear to their hearts" that somehow we were "Above the Law?"

Is using "Ill-Gotten Gains, Profiteering off Investors and hammer tactics to defraud widows and those who would normally buy "lottery tickets" to defend oneself just the way they do it in TEXAS...or is he just another ordinary "Flim/Flam Man" that our "Entertainment Culture" loves to do those "retrogrades" on?

Ken Lay and his charming wife were the Darlings of Texas...and we all know...hire the BEST in PR these days and you can charm snakes to be the "love of life" to the American Public who just loves the "Underdog" fighting for his rights. :shrug:

Will he get away with it? He's strung it out long enough for a "Chimp Pardon." :eyes: While Martha Stewart served time in jail...

1. We would be in jail. We don't contribute to W.
That was Martha Stewart's problem. For all her wealth, she was apolitical.
