You mean, if our president has a criminal past, why should we make an issue of it? I guess my quick and easy response to your analysis of the question is that I have a fundamentally different view of the whole question. I don't see Enron as some abberation, I see it as the tip of the iceberg. They just got caught, that's all. They were conducting business as usual. We have a caste system, and the billionaire corporations are generally above the law. Enron executives won't go to jail. They'll get to keep their money. A guy robbing a liquor store will have to pay for his crime (as he/she should). The notion that a 'get tough' speech by Mr. Bush or the hopes that the SEC is really on the job preventing this stuff does not reassure me, anymore than watching the machinery of massive destruction flying over me, nukes strapped to their bellies. I have to remind myself that our 'protectors' were warned repeatedly that something like 9/11 could happen, and they couldn't (or wouldn't) stop it. They were aced by psychos with box cutters. No, I am not reassured. I remind myself that the only thing that may have stopped a jet from slamming into the White House was a group of brave citizens. There you have it. RR
