issue) that the Enron scandal The Enron scandal was a financial scandal that was revealed in late 2001. After a series of revelations involving irregular accounting procedures bordering on fraud, perpetrated throughout the 1990s, involving Enron and its accounting firm Arthur Andersen, it stood at the verge of has caused damage to "poor people,

It sickens me to read that Nader can somehow portray himself as a progressive spokesperson for those people. Those are the very people, along with a very large contingent of others, who actually benefited by the modest gains of the Clinton-Gore Administration and had high hopes to see those gains continue, no matter how modest they may have been.

They will also survive the Enron scandal. I'm not sure, however, if they will survive Nader's egomaniacal desire to, as he puts it, crash the party.

Democratic legislators have responded to my concerns with varying degrees of respect, sometimes with thoughtful, informative letters. Republican responses have included malice toward me (in one extreme case), malice toward the proponents of a cause I support, and various sorts of double-talk and deceit.
