Although this probably is considered to be a horrible sentiment, I agree. As terrible as his actions were, I feel badly for his pain and his family as well even though I'm sure most people would want to crucify him. Especially since it reminds people of 9/11.

In stating this, please allow me a little explanation. Both of my parents had their own businesses. When my mother started hers, a competitor turned her in to the IRS for misfiling forms. For the next THIRTY ONE years, she was questioned about each and every form she completed. She was audited (they found 38 cents she had miscalulated) twice during that time. My mother was one of the original Steel Magnolias, and never lost her cool. I honestly don't think I could have handled it the way she did.

I completely understand someone losing it over the water torture methods that our government tends to use over small businesses. If that makes me crazy, so be it. Start your own business, and see how friendly they are to you as compared to those multi-million dollar bonus frauds.
