Review: I personally think that it is not nice (religiously speaking) to talk badly about a person after he is dead. Let him rest in peace.

Review: In recent days, some "talking heads" have suggested that Lay's insurance will be paid to his wife and children and will not be subject to the liability that his estate may still be exposed to today. That is not necessarily correct! Depending on how the insurance was owned and whether or not he had any "incidence of ownership," it may be that this last piece of financial activity may yet create a rush to the bar.

Review: I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything of that nature. I'm a normal man who only believes in logic. I don't know if Ken Lay is really dead, I wouldn't be suprised either way. But I do find it a little odd that someone with a relativly close friendship with Bush, millions of dollars, and a new sentencing for life in prison, suddenly died, which means all charges will be dropped and all that money that they took from him will go back to his family. Politics--who has the power (money) and how do they use it? Keep that in mind.

Review: All of us do get carried away by things that are too good to be true or superficial hype delivered convincingly. And that is what happened in the Enron case. Also, when times are good and things seem to be moving smoothly, everyone relaxes, the laws and the rule book are ignored, and people get away with blue murder! There's hell to pay only when disaster strikes in the shape of a crash or a whistle-blower or some other such event that snowballs. It is true that something good has come out of this disaster and BW has done well to highlight the positive aspects of the post-Enron corrective action. But the systemic failures leading to the disaster cannot be forgotten, nor should they be forgiven. Intemperate and emotional outbursts like those by Anticorp do not serve any purpose. It is important to have good and effective laws, but it much more important to have effective, continuous monitoring and enforcement. Any relaxation or laxity in enforcement courts disaster.

Review: Follow the money and follow the power, don't be distracted by the death show. Lay's death was either coincidentally miraculous or simple brute timing. But never forget the underlying motive which is both economic power and financial reward. Who benefited from Enron, and who benefits from Lay's death? Those who did are either very lucky, or involved. It all stems from the basic law of action and reward. People will most likely do what is best for themselves when the rewards are greater than the risks.

Review: The bum should have been locked up and suffering as did those that lost everything. The country has gone to hell and George W and his crooked friends like Ken Lay are to blame. Impeach Bush!

Review: Whatever happened to good morals and the idea of working for the common good. I have no sympathy for these big companies and the people who conspire to deceive the ordinary hard-working citizens who make them rich off their blood, sweat, and tears. It's a shame to see all that money go to the family of a crook who obtained it by no other means other than stealing and deception.

Review: No matter how fast a talker, greedy or rich, it is impossible to talk or buy your way out of death. This country would probably be a better place with a few more good funerals. Peace to all that were victimized by this man.
