This is a multipart message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Simon Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream made an announcement to their employees that no CEO would be paid more than x times than certain other employees. (I forget the exact numbers.) Turns out they had to renege on that promise. They couldn't find a qualified CEO. I got that from a TV documentary 'Greed' by John Stossel. So good, they had to run it a few times. <snip> Is a CEO worth twice what the guy on the shop floor gets? Probably. Is he worth 10 times? Maybe. Is he worth twenty times? I doubt it. Perhaps that requires too high a level of altruism? OK, altruism is not really part of human nature. Even people who are involved in supposedly altruistic endeavours are doing it for what they personally get out of it rather than any actual benefit to the supposed beneficiary. <endsnip> Rob Berendt -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
