ethics and behavior

[plural]

With all the news about Enron and Worldcom
[among many others]

Congress is voraciously rambling about oversight, talking about making new laws, and stricter enforcement

Nice words but if you look a little closer
you start to question where it is coming from...

Out of 535 members...

29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Forty-seven percent of them have acted in way which show a failure to be responsible citizens

Yet they claim to be able to legislate our way out of this current mess

some how

I am not confident
