2. How could the majority

not be interested when it had such a huge impact on people's lives?

5. On their lives in particular!

Apathy is somewhat understandable if wasn't your pension or portfolio that was involved.

8. Especially in Houston, and Texas in general.. a lot of folks' retirement

was trashed because of heavy investment in Enron, my understanding is that this was true of the teacher's union.

Man killed kicking in door of wrong house


By PAIGE HEWITT
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle

A "highly intoxicated" Texas City man who kicked in the door of a home he apparently thought was his own was fatally shot Friday night by the man who lived there, police said.

David Wayne Stewart, 26, who officials said was drunk when he left a fast food restaurant Friday night, walked in the direction of his home and stopped at a different house, in the 900 block of 26th Street, where a 55-year-old woman and 74-year-old man lived.

Stewart knocked and banged on the door around 11:30 p.m., and when the resident refused to let him in, Stewart kicked in the door. The resident shot him once in the head, police said.

Stewart was dead when police arrived. The case has been referred to the Galveston County District Attorney's Office without charges.

12. No problem!

I had ready that story also. You can't blame the couple in the home, the guy was kicking their door in, and it was late at night.

14. The public are too busy viewing American Idol

I think the trial will be LOOOOOng and boooring going over all those accounting figures that most people don't understand anyway. So they will only tune in when it gets juicy. Can't say as I blame them. It's going to be hard to follow but I think I'll be watching or reading the papers and keeping tabs on it the best I can. Too many people have forgotten or are not interested if it didn't effect them. That's why they delayed it as long as possible. (Besides there are no pretty girls involved and NO SEX.) But Kenny Boy Lay better get put away for a long time...like the rest of his life for the pain and heartache he caused so many to suffer.
