I have said before that the CofC is a kind of spiritual Enron.

I read an article today by an attorney who probably has never even heard of the Community of Christ or the RLDS Church. He wrote the following in the business section of today's paper:

Corporate culture takes root in the statements, behavior and tolerances of those at the top. Honesty and honor can flourish in a business when practiced by its leaders. And deceit and concealment can become the mores of a company when employees are led in that direction.

When captains of industry build a corruption-endorsing culture, they seem to also later disavow responsibility and knowledge.

****

As the current lawyer for Robert Emmel, and a former lawyer for Sherron Watkins, I see unpleasant similarities [Between Enron and New America, (Geo.)], too. Emmel, ... believed he had evidence of ...wrongdoing at News America, Rather than using Emmel's knowledge to clean up the company (which is being investigated for having hacked into Floorgraphics' computer), News America attempted to destroy Emmel by engaging in character assassination and ultimately helped drive him to bankruptcy. Similarly, ... at Enron, Watkins found that after she warned of bad deals that could implode the company, those above her considered retaliating by having her fired and attempting to discredit her.

****

We need to encourage and protect those who internally or externally make the effort to correct the wrongs that those who get rich at the top refuse to even acknowledge.
