| This project is
dedicated to my former co-workers at Enron. Many lost their entire
retirement funds. These men and women are the forgotten focus of
all the change that has and will continue to take place because of
the Enron Fall. My hats off to those American citizens who did not
"go postal". I know quite a few of you who thought about
it. I did. Think about it that is.
My prayers go to the families who
were thrust into households with no income, no medical coverage
and no retirement savings because of the greed of a few. Godspeed.
But just like Daniel, you will stand the tests of time. The heart
of America has always been its people. Resilient, Malleable and
Forthright, the American citizens have paid those costs with our
Time, our Money, our Hearts, and our Lives.
The diversity of our country has
been tried and upheld. The American people, regardless of gender,
race, religion or social status, have on account, individually and
collectively endured the blatant disregard of their well being by
a variety of perpetrators. This non-discriminatory abuse of the
American citizen has led to chaos. This chaos can be gathered and
placed into a horrible epic if we just snapshot the last 15 years.
Just A Few of Our
Realities:
1. September 11 (WTC
Attacks)
2. Oklahoma Bombings
3. Jasper Murder
4. Branch Davidians
5. DC Sniper
6. Heaven's Gate
7. King Beatings
8. Shepard Murder
9. Luby's Shootings
10. Arkansas Shootings
11. Columbine Shootings
12. Three Wars (Iraq 1 & 2, Afghanistan)
And Countless
Murders on American soil by Americans
If the pain of any
victims families could be placed into words and felt in the hearts
of those who read it, the outcome of our actions would change.
However, this pain is not captured. And the reality is people get
pissed-off when they are wronged. Most people have this inner desire
to get even - and most control these feelings with rational
behavior. However, more and more frequently in our society this
control mechanism is failing. It's a symptom - not the problem.
Personally, I have no more patience for turning the other cheek.
So, to all you SOBs
involved in the Enron collapse that took advantage of our belief,
our work ethic, and our loyalty -- Beware!
We have not forgotten.
We're just waiting for the right Time, the right Opportunity, the
right Method for payback.
