Starting tonight, the Glen Art Theatre will be showing "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room."
More Ebert:
Strange, that there has not been more anger over the Enron scandals. The cost was incalculable, not only in lives lost during the power crisis, but in treasure: The state of California is suing for $6 billion in refunds for energy overcharges collected during the phony crisis. If the crisis had been created by Al Qaeda, if terrorists had shut down half of California's power plants, consider how we would regard these same events. Yet the crisis, made possible because of deregulation engineered by Enron's lobbyists, is still being blamed on "too much regulation." If there was ever a corporation that needed more regulation, that corporation was Enron.The Glen Art Theatre, 540 Crescent Boulevard, Glen Ellyn, IL - (630) 415-1976
