Thanks for the heads up!

Yep we have middle men in most of our commercial enterprises.... The commodities exchanges are nothing but middle men trading something for use at some future date... corn, pork bellies, oil, etc. and not a one owns a farm or oil well.... The system will work when set up properly but Enron screwed the pooch so to speak in this developing commodity business. However their major errors may have been outside the commodity trading business from what little I've read of what is emerging.

Is Ken Lay a part of the Lay family that owns Frito-Lay?

I don't think so. As much as I've heard about the man, I've never heard that.

[Dog Gone]

And, as an example the California electricity "deregulation" scam, known as the worst policy mistake in California history, (authored by and passed by Republicans,BTW) was nothing more than the introduction of the middle man in the system

No it wasn't. It introduced new power generators into the state. Those weren't middlemen in any sense of the word. Why would you say such a patently false thing?

You and I have gone around on this many times, and you continue to have a warped view of what really happened both from a political standpoint and from the facts on the ground.

Shalom!

Roger and Everyone Else On This Thread:

You would NOT be Rolling on the Floor Laughing if YOUR

Husband or Wife LOST EVERYTHING and Their JOBS, MEDICAL INSURANCE and other Benefits!

My husband was an ENRON employee, the Plant that he Worked Very Hard in was LOCKED DOWN AND SHUT On Friday 12/07/01.

We will have NO Medical Insurance as of 12/31/01, and NO 30 Day Grace Period, and NO Severance PAY.

We are Hoping and Praying that we will get his Last Pay Check that He Worked for, there is a Strong Possibility that we will NOT.

There are ENRON Employees, Spouses and CHILDREN who are CANCER Patients currently on CHEMO THERAPY.

If anyone has ever had to have CHEMO, then YOU know only too well how EXPENSIVE these LIFE SAVING TREATMENTS ARE!

GOD only knows What Will Happen to them.

SO...NO, I do NOT think that there is anything to ROTFLYBO!

It has been stated on FR many, many times...WE will NEVER Know How Much Damage that the Billzebub/Hillzebub and Co have done to every facet of our Country and Financial Interests: Government and Private!

If it starts to STINK and SINK...those are the TWO to Look at!

By The Way...I'm certain that WE ALL Agree that Mr. & Mrs. Clintoon have found their LONG SOUGHT AFTER "LEGACY"...

LOCATION: GROUND ZERO - WORLD TRADE CENTER PLAZA, NY, NY.

May God Bless America Land Of The Free & Home Of The Brave!

At this point I can believe almost ANYTHING about this CREEP..... Indeed I almost have to wonder if they didn't set up ENRON so they could blame GW Bush in the event of his winning..... Hillary would DEFINITELY do something like this folks if, just IF she thought this would give her the presidency!!!!

[Roger_W_Isom]

I knew a lot of people was going to get hurt but remember this... It was Bill and Hillary that started this Fiasco and I would urge EVERY ENRON EMPLOYEE to SUE THESE BUMS INTO BANCRUPTCY!!!!! Their so=called "GREAT ECONOMY" was basically RESPONSIBLE for this disaster.... Ask "WHO WROTE THE LAWS" that allowed this to happened and NONE OTHER then the NAMES Bill and Hillary BECOMES the answer!!!!!

The first: Beware of the Spock babies re: Baby Boomers now that they are nearing retirement and losing whatever sense they had.

I hope they like their Charity Old Age homes. They finally will realize all their Socialist Commune dreams in a 21st century flop house. The rest of us WILL be enjoying the fruits of our capitalism. You can't get water out of a rock.

I don't think that we'll ever know how much corruption there was in the Clinton administration.I'm still waiting for justice for what I consider to be the greatest scandal of all the Clinton's(known)scandals and that is the BLOODGATE scandal.

[Lady In Blue]

I've been meaning to ask you,what does Molon Labe mean? Thanks.

It is unethical for you to deliberately distort the specific language used by the original author just to make your own political point. When he used "Spock baby", he very definitley meant to indicate those who were raied in a permissive environment ans were raised to be spoiled rotten. Your crude attempt to slander everybody born between 1946 and 1964 by replacing it with "baby boomer" is exactly the OPPOSITE of the point the author was making. I was never raised to believe that life was easy or that I was entitled to everything just by wanting it. So please refrain from such unethical acts in the future.

"Hadn't heard this side of the story..."

Yes, an interesting if not typically tangled tale; which always seems the case if a Clinton name is anywhere near a business deal.

Lib media has already tried to highlight GW's and Dick Cheney names with this. Knowledge is best defense and of course, the truth; which Lib media always has a problem with.

p.s. for Pittsburgh Tribune. . .it is 'Arthur Andersen'. . .

'Dumpty'. Good name for bubba.

Hi, *BLUE*. How have you been?

Long time no see. : )

[VRWC For Truth]

The Spock boomers outnumber you 3 to 1. You think they give a rats butt that they care you're of their generation. You are either with us (capitalists) or against us. The time for BS is OVER.
