His nickname was "Kennyboy" afterall..........

Then the scandal came in from the northwest with a high chance of thunderstorms/showers, and Dubyah claimed "Past supporter".

Im glad they got convicted, but in reality, buisness crimes and frauds like this go on in the world everyday and will only continue to go on...

How people can allow money to warp their morals and values I will never know...

Fraud does happen everyday, but this was not an everyday thing. This was huge, and destroyed thousands of lives.

Well here in Canada were dealing with a similar buisness scandal concerning newspaper tycoon, Conrad Black...

As he's going through trial, he's of course having to sell of his newspaper companies, costing thousands of people their jobs as well.

It's just a daily lesson that if you give some people an ounce of power, they'll go raving mad with it since to them, "the sky is the limit" Undecided
