In some ways we're saying the same thing, i.e., legislation written in moments of high emotion isn't necessarily well reasoned. However, as I point out in the last paragraph, intelligent, well thought out legislation doesn't accomplish much since it's usually watered down by interested parties. As to self regulation, I think it's the biggest oxymoron joke ever dreamed up. It works about as well in the business world as it would in a prison. And finally, 'politicians' and 'doing the right thing' is another hilarious oxymoron to my mind. For years I've voted for the person whom I feel will do the least amount of damage, but with the best chance of winning. Sad commentary:( Hi Bob, thanks for stopping by.

It makes me think of history I've read about Thomas Jefferson surreptitiously paying a newspaper to publish lies about John Adams during their run for the presidency. I thought you were going to criticize the overbearing nature of SOX when you were talking about the hotness of the moment. I believe that these types of laws always go too far simply because the politicians who write them are going with the whim of the moment instead of doing the right thing.
