This guy probably wears a Che Guevara t-shirt. Some people are incapable of rational judgment. Yes, indeed ... let's stick to Eleanor ... a silly twit ... but a decent, caring human being who did a lot of good for a lot of people. |

Don't forget about Enron playing the California electric grid-- has anyone heard the tapes of the Enron Masters of the Universe crowing over the wildfires? Really upsetting stuff. Ah, Kenny Boy. The legacy you leave behind...
Please, some backup info as to why Eleanor is a "silly twit." You're right; cornering FDR on the US's ignoring the situation with the Jews in Germany was sooooo twittish.... what a twit, caring about the genocide before anyone else in the government! Who did she think she was, anyway? Twit. I'm loving the quotes, people! Keep 'em coming... |

now see that is why I said that his dieing, in my opinion hooves, is a bad thing cause people like him need to do time in prison for their crime. dieing at his age is the easy way out in my opinion, but I have to leave that to whatever higher power, religion, belief that each person holds and believes.

but, if you only want to cover bases, than how strong is your faith? not saying this to you to single you out, it's a hypothetical ? really....i've heard others say the same thing, and just wonder--how is that really believing? doesn't seem like it to me.

also, regarding all those who lost their money in enron--that goes to the most basic rule of investing--DIVERSIFY!!! don't put all your money in one company, or one fund. too much risk. yeah, lay was a bad guy--but those who only saw $ signs dancing in their heads must have some blame, shouldn't they? easy money....right?

It's sad how narrow-minded some folks are....and how much they hate anyone different than they are or who thinks differently than they do...Mensa says I'm pretty smart, my degrees say I'm fairly well educated, my life's experiences tell folks I've been around, yet I'm a mindless twit to some because I find wisdom in the words of someone like Castro...it's the message not the messenger for god sake! My quote from the former First Lady certainly has been proven here by the comments of some. I had the hours to take my undergrad degree in Philosophy and have read continually since but still I go back to Plato....all some ever see are the shadows on the cave wall, reflections of reality...really sad!

As opposed to your's? Mine would be a grain of sand in the desert in comparison! It's funny, when anybody speaks up and calls people on their ignorance they are labeled arrogant...well, if that's the measure then I guess arrogance is better than narrow-mindedness. Actually, there is nothing wrong with arrogance unless it's paired with stupidity....and having an ego at least means you don't go through life depending solely on the id! |

Why is it in dispute? |

What the hell hell ever frosty the snowman. This man knew all along what he was doing with other people's money. Some people lost everything but their name and he gets to go to Club Med. I hope his family has to give all of the life insurance money and the ashes get sold on E-Bay to pay these people back he robbed. His crime is no worse than someone knocking off the local 7-11 store if you ask me. I won't wish death on someone but when it happens to certain people I'll jump up and dance. He screwed hard earning people out of thier retirement and lively hood with being like a sneaky rat. Go to Hell Ken Lay, My God show no mercy on your dirty rotten soul.

I'm not too sure I can answer your question. I can't give you belief. That's completely up to you and your "free choice". As for me, I have tried to follow the words of Jesus, as I believe. "What does it profit a man to gain the riches of world, and lose his soul?" It's not for me to judge. Ken Lay made his choices. Hey, that's what life gives you an opportunity to do. Covering bases isn't "faith". It's more like betting "all" in the last leg of the P-6. "Faith" means you single each of them...and then when you score, you give away your winnings, not just to your friends at a fancy dinner, but also to the others that have real need. Just my two cents... How long do any of us have to dance around on this planet? Make the best and most of it. Harm others less, help them more.... That's what I believe. For sure, we'll all find out soon enough. DTS |
