thats exactly right, Dianavan
theyre going after Martha Stewart - but not the Ken Lay and his enron buddies, worldcom and all the other bastards.
dont forget Bush himself dumped half a million of some stock a few years ago one day before it tanked.

Well... she IS going to appeal, small amount of money, which does not really matter, it is about intent to steal money from other investors by using inside info to cut and run and let the little guys in the stock pay the price of a falling value. Cheers Larry

How much money are we talking about anyway? I think what she did was very small potatoes compared to what the big boys do on a daily basis. She's being scapegoated for being an uppity female.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan. But why single her out when there are so many other fish to fry?

Actually SRS, as right as you are, folks who worked for her can tell you that this behavior is typical of her rather selfish way of looking at the world. I wish her well, and wish bigger fish would be held to task, like the bUsh babies in the S&L scam... but, well, let's not make a saint of the poor thing. Cheers Larry

No, this is huge, Clinton! For example, is she going to broadcast from the jail? How to dress up your cell with things you find in jail, making wall hangings out of bread, its a good thing... I expect folk songs to follow!

No, don't sell your stock in K-Mart. Scratch your head and wonder how in hell the scuzballs at Enron and Tyco and Worldcom and such are still out walking around for major offenses against thousands of their employees who lost their retirement and often much more, and then wonder how it is they managed to stack the deck against Martha for what amounts to something that she should get a fine for. The news is saying a "prison term is likely."

Appeal Appeal Appeal, Martha!

The American Justice system would put non-violent otherwise harmless people in prison to do what? "Set an example?" Get real.
