"Richard Hertz" wrote in message t... "Larry Dighera" wrote in message ... But the prison systems have become cash cows for private enterprise. Prison operating contractors have no financial incentive to rehabilitate inmates. Quite the opposite, there is incentive to create more inmates, so that more prisons will be built and Wackinhut's business will increase. Corporate self interest is at the root of many of society's ills. Um, no. Self-interest of humans is the root of many ills. It's also the source (context, please) of all good. How is criminal behavior and any way in ones "self-interest"? Particularly from criminals. if corporations behave in illegal manners, they are punished, so too should criminals be punished. Blaming "corporations" for the failing of people is a cop out. |

Compare that with what it was doing on the late 90s while the goverment looked the other way. Enron leaders are now in prison, and more are expected to follow. Get real yourself. |

It wasn't the current administration that closed Enron. It was a moral Enron employee who blew the whistle on Enron's illegal practices that hastened its bankruptcy. Compare that with what it was doing on the late 90s while the goverment looked the other way. Enron leaders are now in prison, and more are expected to follow. Unfortunately, the leader of Enron, Kenneth Lay, is still free and unindited with tens of millions of dollars (of what should have been Enron's former employee's retirement money) safely in the bank. Do you suppose that Kenneth Lay's being the largest contributor to the baby Bush election campaign and a long time friend of the Bush family has had any influence on this master mind of Enron's nefarious deeds remaining beyond the reach of the law? Get real yourself. Get informed yourself. |
