That probably sums it up really well. Enron was / is a scandal. Here in
the UK we have the two major political parties frantically trying to show
that their links with Enron and Andersons are benign. It seems that the
current business model is rotten to its core but what am I doing other
than supporting it? Like a giant snowball and a flea? Still through such
groups as this and the DEN maybe there is a submerged stream of desire to
make things better and not just different.

I think At's searches on the internet summed it up.
