I think I have to disagree with the notion that investors are more involved now, Ror. Many people in America own stock in corporations, but most own very little. Most people have little idea about the things corporations are doing that are inappropriate primarily b/c they don't have to. If investors were forced to be involved, forced to stay educated, and forced to stay on top of their investment, I think you'd have less corporate fraud and neglegence. It seems to me to be everything America is supposedly premised upon (ie. Bennett's "why right?" thread
).
