[...] I like this concept of "marking the territory" - not like a dog, but as students of consciousness. It is so easy to get caught up in the robotic rush of repetition, day in and day out. I read in Fortune a few months ago about how AmEx has dramatically restructured its CEO pay for Kenneth Chenault. In brief, he gets a relatively low base pay, and then stock options (not restricted stock) if he meets performance criteria over an unusually long 6-year period. It's worth noting that those options are worthwhile only if the stock price is preserved; there is no guaranteed price on them. I hope other companies will begin to pull back the reins on the exorbitant CEO pay packages that have become too common. Here was my early take on CEO pay: Beach Walk 129 - Math with Rox [...]

I read an amazing article by Robert Samuelson in Newsweek (print) lambasting CEO pay. He is normally a conservative editorial writer. But look at these quotes: CEO's "seem to regard being a multimillionaire as an entitlement befitting their position." They have "contrived a moral code that exempts them from self-control, a moral code that justifies grabbing as much as they can." "They are slowly becoming a threat to the very system they claim to represent." I think it is more effective to change from within, rather than being the battering rams on the outside. Let's look for more evidence of CEO's acting less selfishly and more reponsibly towards their companies and their communities.
