The same was true of Enron's board and they still saw prison time. edit: Apparently I wasn't clear. Enron's board was also stacked with high-ranking politicians and many executives still saw jail time. My point was that a we

I grew up in California (north, south and central). I highly doubt I will ever move back. California, in my experience, was filled with hatred and intolerance. Not on the surface, but dig a little deeper, disagree with the hivemind just

I just served on a jury for a criminal trial (a police officer tipped off a suspected pedophile about an investigation). The very first people to go were the idiots who couldn't string a sentence together. After that it was anyone who

If an act isn't actually illegal, your problem isn't with the courts. It's with the legislative branch.

I just sat on a jury in Colorado where we found a police detective guilty of abuse of power and other charges. Almost every witness with another police officer. So no, cops do not always ignore other cops breaking the law.

The profit for shorts provides an incentive to correct the market regarding overvalued or fraudulently valued companies. That's a good thing.

This is why I think shorts provide a valuable service to the economy. They have an incentive to snuff out fraud and deception in publicly traded companies and act as a bulwark against that sort of behavior. Sadly we don't have an equi
