Now, I LAY thee down to sleep

HOUSTON, July 12 -- Former Enron Corp. executive Kenneth L. Lay, the business visionary who became a symbol of corporate greed, was memorialized Wednesday for his devotion to his family, his faith and his philanthropy -- and also defended as a "good man" who was the victim of prosecutors and the media.
He was a "straight arrow -- a Boy Scout, if you will -- who lived by Christian-Judeo principles," longtime friend Mick Seidl said during a memorial service that drew almost 1,200 to First United Methodist Church. The church, where Lay and his wife, Linda, were married 24 years ago this Monday, is just blocks from the downtown skyscraper that once housed Enron, the energy-trading giant that Lay built.
"I am saddened he will be remembered for the Enron indictment and trial," Seidl said. "An overzealous federal prosecutor and the media have vilified a good man. It was total character assassination."

Yeah right! Hopefully, "Kenny Boy" as Dubya calls him, is in a particularly warm spot in hell. Despite his buddy's views, the man's shameless greed cost the little guys their life savings. And then he dies (suicide anyone?). I'm not saying yes or no, but since he went to the showers, the trial's over and his heirs keep the cash? Appears so. BTW, Mick? Just in case you see this, judeo-chistian principles teach us to not lie, steal, cheat and to treat others as we would be treated. Violation of these principles lead to punishment on earth and in the hereafter. A Boy Scout is trustworthy, kind and thrifty. Kenny boy was none of these. He was a cheat and a coward. I hope his example causes his ilk to emulate his demise, whether by their own hand, or nature's or a pissed off investor.
