The Great Divide: Paul Krugman has another great opinion piece in the New York Times comparing Enron to 9-11. Where has this guy been? Suddenly everything he writes rings my bell. This comparison is brilliant, but I question his claim about why Enron might be historically bigger than 9-11. Krugman says that Enron's going to be more important in the long run because it showed us more about who we are/were, while 9-11 just showed us a lot about the rest of the world. I agree that Enron's a big wakeup call and a demand that BigCo's and the bought-and-paid-for political system we have need to look in the mirror and totally remake themselves. So yes, Enron shows us a lot about who we are. But 9-11 could have showed us a lot about... us; it should have; and if it didn't, that's only because we're too culturally egotistical and jingoistic to see it. Which is why Krugman's right: If we learn the lessons that Enron teaches, it will be huge. We've already shown we've learned nothing from 9-11. 7:09:23 PM

A novel approach to work | csmonitor.com: Professionals are reading literature to help make them better at what they do. "Groups might use "Antigone" to launch a debate on moral dilemmas, "Billy Budd" as a case study in justice and abuse of power, or "The Bluest Eye" for a look at a fresh cultural perspective." You mean literature has some discernable relationship to reality? I'll be damned! 6:57:53 PM
