Enron Implosion
Its hard to find anything to say about the Enron Debacle that hasn't
already been said. Seems that with the latest problems, however, maybe we need to
take a good look at the Lone Star State itself.
Bobby Knight? Paul Begala?
Enron? Now Mr.
Andersen and everyone in his accounting firm will be looking over their
shoulders in the prison showers for the next few decades. What is it with
Texas lately?
There's a little known clause in the Constitution that bears
reminding ourselves of here. People think that this country has always had
an ever-growing number of states, when in fact, the number has fluctuated.
The U.S. Constitution has an Article IV, Section 5, commonly known as the
"Deadbeat Clause" or the "Tough-Love Provision by scholars, that states:
Any State that shall consistently take in more than it shall produce for
the benefit of the Nation, or shall otherwise be deemed by a majority of the
Senate and two-thirds or more of the House of representatives as more damned
trouble than It shall be worth, shall be ejected from the Union and held
otherwise accountable for its Debts.
Are you listening Texas?
We are happy, however, that the Texas jury did what it did. We
can all sleep a little better knowing these thugs are off the street.
