  1. more4less, that was more a question…IF you believe solely that the majority will should prevail, HOW do you deal with moral issues where the majority is “wrong”?

    It/s not a personal issue.

    “view as your tiny position, then you obviously in the minority and in life big majority opinion overrides the tiny minority opinion”

    Yeah, no moral issues need apply. I guess you’d vote for Jim Crow laws 50 years ago as well, after all the white majority did agree that blacks needed to be oppressed.

    cmu, despite knowing you from meeting, and generally liking you, that kind of mental leap is just asinine. He’s talking about owning shares of stock. I think that’s probably the most ridiculous playing of the “race card” that I’ve ever heard.

  3. ” wasn’t born yet or in this country then but if I were, I’m sure they hating on the Chinaman too so you’re wrong once again”

    cmu, He missed your point entirely. Or is feigning same.

  4. CEO compensation is a non-self-limiting race to an equilibrium that has not yet been reached.

    As long as the increase in shareholder wealth exceeds comp (or the difference in comp as compared to hiring the next best person), comp will continue to go up.

    Whether or not this is a good thing falls in my “don’t care” bin for the day. I might give a shit tomorrow, just not today. I’m too busy imagining lesbo claymation porn.
