>Yeah, I know but that's human nature and the market is pretty good at eliminating these kinds of companies. A lot better than most civil servants. <g>

If these power brokers where govt employees you know they would still be employed. The only govt official I've ever heard of who really, trully got booted out for screwing up, was the guy in Orange County, here in CA. The guy who invested the County money poorly and caused it to go into bankrupcy. And he lost umtold millions and was told he was a bad boy for his punishment.
