A person can view documentaries on Disease, War, Religion, Politics, History, you name it. Greed is so previlent in the World and yet no one on TV is even allowed to mention the word. Why is it taboo?

Good point. It would expose the root of all our problems. The government, the corporations, the porn industary, the drug trade, the exploitation of people in all kinds of ways, the pharmecuetical industaries, the doctors, lawyers (not all of them), politicians, famous and greedy church leaders who hoard millions, and on and on and on.....then they would be exposed and their vested interest would be at risk....money, prestige, and power.

Hi the professor, I'm with "otherworldtrader" on some of his thoughts. However, we did have a short-lived gameshow called "GREED", hosted by Chuck Woolery. IMO, we don't need a "documentary" about this subject. All we have to do, is perhaps..."look in a mirror, watch TV, read a newspaper, go to church, visit a prison, travel to "Hollywood", enter a casino, watch very "young" children at play. The list is endless! We are "selfish" right from the start. Because, our "world" from the moment were born is all about..."survival and me, myself and I". XOXO Moonpie P.S. OMG! How could I forget to mention the "people in power" all over the world and especially right hear in the "Good ole' U.S.A."!

It isn't professor. Did you not see the news on jesse jackson giving church money to his gilrfriend!
Haven't you followed the news on Eron, Martha Stweward? Haven't you ever seen the oprah Show (she has over a billion and talks of what we the little man can do for our brothers to end their suffering with out money>
Don't you know that a president once elected gets over 200,000 a year for life. senators ger 15,000 a monthretirement , pay no medical insurance fees or none of their retirement fees yet they make a big deal out of showing a >02% ss increase not mentioning the 50,000 a years perps they just gave themselves.
Ronald Reagan was a well liked and well respected man. He was also wealthy all of his medical bills were picked up by the taxpayers, all o fhis retirement was picked up by the taxpayers, his drugs were picked up by the taxpayers yet his family applied for ss on him. Why?

It takes too much money to make such a doc. like this, they
would have to spend money and time on interviewing everyone
that worked for Enron.

because if they allowed that more than half of our government officials would have to be exposed as greedy crooks and liars.
