enron wasn't the result of corruption as much as stupidity. from what i understand enron invested a bazillion dollars on off-the-wall speculative nonsense and then its corporate leaders wouldn't listen to advice when they were told that the company would plummet as a result . . . the only corruption was the cover-up, which of course should be prosecuted, but that's why we have a criminal justice system.
and no, privatized roads would suck, simply because the logistics would be a nightmare. i don't have a problem with the government contracting private companies for construction and maintenance, but there should still be rules and regulations simply to streamline the process and make it less confusing when you're traveling interstate (or inter-province, depending on where you live).
