Interesting Point

We have seen the Enron documentaries and know what possibilities there are for ruthless dark comedy, as in the scenes where Enron executives deliberately and cold-bloodedly mastermind the California energy crisis, chuckling that a few grandmothers may have died of heat exhaustion but Enron has made millions. The California energy "shortage" fits any definition of terrorism, except that it was engineered by Americans wearing lapel pins instead of Arabs wearing beards. (My bold)
- Roger Ebert

I got really nothing to add, I just thought that was an interesting take, especially when I found that in the movie review for Fun with Dick and Jane.
