I remember thinking this when it turned out there was nothing they could actually charge the Enron swindlers with. Things are immeasurably worse now. Both moral law and human law are being twisted and turned inside out by people who value nothing but power. A civil society can't survive that for very long.

Enron. That was a biggie. How many got rattled to do something about it?
