But I found very little partisan sniping.

I'll agree...a very small lieberman bump

Why do you think Sen. Lieberman, who has been outspoken in this spring of the need for reform, has been such an adamant foe of expensing stock options?

but mostly non-political. However, that may be the problem...Clinton was in charge when 98% of this happened. NO? That's not to say a Republican Congress wasn't culpable too.

By the way, aren't you embarrassed to be caught criticizing an article before you'd read it?

Not at all

I would be.

Feel free!

It's common knowledge that it's very difficult for politicians - or anybody - to resist the lure of money. I don't think it's useful to try to assign blame. It's always the same anyway - someone got bought, or conveniently misled, or fooled, or was naive about human nature.

The problem is pretty much always the same too - how to channel greed into useful channels and punish it when it expresses itself as theft.

I liked what Turner had to say but I'll have to read it again - more critically - before forming an opinion.

By the way, I came across this article via a Google on the "1995 Tort Reform Act". I'm still pursuing that. You might find it interesting.
