Maybe some justice is coming.

"OKLAHOMA CITY -- Former WorldCom Inc. (WCOEQ, news) chief executive Bernie Ebbers was booked Wednesday on criminal charges of violating Oklahoma securities laws in a massive accounting fraud."

This does no sayf Ebbers was extradited back to Oklahoma for the booking.

Was he?

Dream on. Laws are for little people.

Here is the mantra of modern America: Rules are for fools, laws are for losers and little people. Big powerful rich people make their own rules, then hire liars, er, lawyers to hide their crimes and give the thieves an air of respectability.

Having been through a multi-year lawsuit concerning very valuable intellectual property that was stolen from me during "due diligance" (i.e. bend over and smile) by venture capitalists, I can assure you that our justice system is the very best that money can buy.

Rules are for fools, laws are for losers and little people. When you agree to play by the "rules", you agree to be a victim.

It's about time! I just hope this action by Oklahoma doesn't interfere with the federal investigation (if there actually IS one going on!)

[E.G.C.]

Here are my observations on the subject.

I've been following this story since I'm from the Sooner State. Something about this tells me that there is some political motivation behind all of this.

Back about 25 years ago, AT&T was the only phone service available to Oklahomans, then when MCI came in and other phone companies were allowed to compete with AT&T, phone bills went down.

Of course, some people do not like the idea of competition. They would rather see one company have a monopoly over everything.

MCI from what I understand is in the process of cleaning house and had been cooperating with federal oficials on this. It seems to me that our state AG is simply just doing this ofr poltical reasons. He is a Democrat.

He's the same one in fact who came out against the Boy Scout on the deal regarding their christian oath.

There are clrearly other isues more important than this like the outgrowths of methlabs growing across the state. Instead he chooses to go after a company that is already cooperating on issues that it has instead of letting things work out.

This is just another case of Democrats not caring at all about the best interests of where they're supposed to represent but rather thinking about their own selfish special political interests.
