Actually Enron stole THREE TIMES more than all the blue collar crime costs combined ! But Ken Lay is still a free man.

Funny how they dont mention this on the news.

1. His trial is due next January
Lots of time to hire a lawyer, make up some evidence and pay people off.

9. NEXT JANUARY!!!
I thought it was to have been a few months ago! (Somebody else make a suitable comment about "Bush's Pioneers". I'm waaaay beyond irony myself).

2. Blue collar crime, from when to when?
Certainly not from the fall of the Roman Senate.

8. It was in a year , I believe.
But all that crime combined was only a thrd of what Enron stole. That just amazed me when I read it. I cant even remember where I read it and I wished I would have bookmarked the article.

3. Yet Ken Lay remains free
and will most likely be pardoned soon.

7. Yeah, Martha has already done her time
