Ah Tyco! I worked for AMP, which was bought by Tyco, which has been run into the ground. It was being run into the ground before Tyco, but still... I see people not being responsible for their own actions. Stupidity and greed are not excuses. To compare with sex, even if one guy 100% came up with a plan that ruined thousands of retirement accounts and caused businesses to collapse and governments to topple, it's still not as bad as one priest or coach or 'friend of the family' laying a finger on a little boy or girl in a sexual fashion. How can we make this equatable? Compare a robber with a gun taking $100 from you and a bad stock tip losing $100 or a bank collapse and you lose $100. Even if the stock person or the bank manager knew completely that you would lose your money, I think the robber is still worse. You also have responsability for the stock loss or the bank loss. That doesn't mean you should be an expert, but should still be able to do some work. How many of us has bought a bona-fide lemon, or at least known someone who has? A car so bad that you believe 99% that the salesman, dealer or private person had to know it was bad. I have, my brother has, another friend has. How many times a day does that happen, across the country? Yes the person is scum, but if I don't take responsibility for buying the car, then I learn no lesson. No one held a gun to my head. Kevin T. Ah well....
