Do you really beleive that Enron is the only corporation out there cooking the books...That's the problem with having mega huge corporations gobbling up everything. It gets so bit that one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Enron is just an example of that concept.

And this call for more government regulation of...oh, pick someone or department that's messed up in this, there seem to be lots to choose from in this case...is just about enough to make a person scream and pull hair out by the roots. Yeah, let's get some bigger entity that doesn't know what the guy in the next cubicle is doing to regulate "it." What a joke.

Let's just keep letting all of them trickle down on us...like we have a choice or anything.
