LOVE the soundtrack. Tom Waits, Billy Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Marilyn Manson, etc. Eclectic and fun.

I can't believe the Enron guys liked the book, "The Selfish Gene" because I enjoyed it too - but our interpretations must have been completely different. I saw it as a good little explaination of genetics and evolution for laymen - they took it as a philosophy for crushing people.

It was shocking how connected they were to the Bush family (every Bush recording a goodbye message for the exec - ****ing incredible), how they cheered on forest fires and the destruction of power plants, how callous the traders were to the lives of the elderly - even laughing as they suffered and died.

The lying, cheating, stealing - and it's not just Enron. Many major banks and corporations were in on Enron's schemes. America got screwed.









When watching the conclusion it was clear that anything we do to limit or free corporations - regulation, deregulation - they will exploit to the fullest. Ken Lay was an a-hole, but there's nothing odd or extraordinary about him. We wrote the rules.

Found it on Hulu, as well as various "other" sources. Great documentary.

I agree with the five Smoking Cutler's it was a great Documentary. One that should make a difference and open people's eyes but we live in a time of apathy.
