If you can't be good, be careful.

I'd like to give a shout out to all my nieces and nephews. They are the ones who will be growing up in this great world we've created, so they're the ones who need to understand the New Rules.

"If you can't be good, be careful," my wife's Gramma O'Neill used to always say. This is true now more than ever.

In America Today, we are a rules-following society with Zero Tolerance.

This translates as: You Must be Seen To Be Following The Rules.

Kenneth Lay knows this better than anyone else. By definition, you are a good person in American society if you follow the rules. So if Lay isn't caught actually breaking any laws, he's a good person. See?

It's true. Be aware of it folks!
