Does anyone remember when I and other Californians complained bitterly about some prices Texas energy concerns were charging our state for energy last year?  There was a lot of California bashing going on, something to the effect that we couldn'g get our house in order.  We maintained that part of the reason we couldn't get our house in order was because of companies like...  well, folks can figure that out.

Yes Governor Davis took big money from Enron.  Yes some of us were pretty angry that he was facilitating some huge energy purchases from Texas concerns at ten times the normal costs.  When we made our feelings known, we told that we shouldn't raise the issue.

Well, I guess we should have raised the issue after all.  And Governor Davis was as big a jerk as we were trying to say he was.  That's the rest of the story.

Don't be too quick to adopt knee-jerk reactions folks.  This was a Texas corporation manipulating the market.  It wasn't the state of Texas' fault.  And we weren't trying to say that at all.
