Blackswan really nailed this one. In a couple of sentences with one easily remembered catch phrase, he defined Orren Boyle in a terminology that the general public will understand.

    That is why I posted BlackSwan's statement as "Best of the Day". It was so brilliant that I kicked myself for not stating it myself.

    " Just as there's a separation between church and state, so there should be a separation between business and state. If that's accomplished, you may have a chance at removing some of the perverse incentives associated with political power" - blackswan

    One of those statements that is so obvious and yet so brilliant that you kick yourself for not stating it yourself.
    Back in the nineties we, here anyway, had a fad called -public private partnership- there were conferences, workshops, on it. I felt uneasy at the time but only recently know why it smells.
