Enron power corporation but nearly bankrupting an American state.... If corporate profits are more important than the safety of a whole states economy how can this not be seen as economic terrorism?


Then the Enron folks were allowed to write and decide what environmental rules they would follow.....and set their own prices... This might explain why our gas prices are so expensive....
