Comment CEO salaries were for charities only... (Score 1) 309

The article is long on President's salary breakdown's, but short on CEO data. Follow the links and see that the "CEO" data was from a very selective list. From the study: "...This year’s study examined the compensation practices at 3,946 mid to large sized U.S. based charities that de-pend on support from the public...." I am not certain this is even a fair comparison. Apples & oranges?

Sharing a cake - what a poor analogy. The path to mediocrity is guaranteed by spending more of a precious resource on those who are the furthest behind. Resources distributed equally across all gives each an equal chance to achieve to the best of their abilities.

Kathleen, I wanted to do this in this most potentially embarassing way possible, and I figured doing it here and now, in front of a quarter of a million strangers was as good a way as any. I love you more then I can describe within the limits of this tiny little story. We've been together for many years now, and I've known for most of that time that I wanted to spend my life with you. Enough rambling. Will you marry me? Update 15 minutes 30 seconds later: Subj: "Yes", message body: "Dork. You made me cry. :)" Hazah! I'm getting married! :)
