"Second, because one can easily guarantee that one will not be wiped out by fraud at one specific public company."

I've stated, and you can do your own research if you elect to verify this, that Enron employees did not have this liberty to the degree afforded most employees at most companies; and they were denied it entirely at the most important time.

Anyway you have your opinion; mine is that executive fraud is not, to each individual, the same level of violence as a rape; but this violence was done to THOUSANDS.

We send up gas station robbers for long terms in hard prisons; Ken deserved no less.

They absolutely did have every right that every other American has.

Enron did not have the power to alter federal law.

We're not debating whether Lay deserved a good long prison sentence. We all agree on that.

My original point is that people here are expressing venom toward Lay that they normally reserve for people like Hitler or Osama bin Laden.

In other words, they've lost all sense of proportion. I mean I've seen comments here regarding his death that remind me of similar comments made when Zarqawi was killed.

How can the two be compared, really? Weird stuff.
