Well FRIEDMAN goes on and on again, but then gets lost in his technology ignorance. It seems motor mouthing talking heads never get it right when questions of basic science are the issue. In general American business and their engineers create product with a feature to cost ratio. FRIEDMAN suggesting cars are not be designed with better mileage simply reveals his ignorance of technology, science and business. And then the generic NYTIMES hate of the President comes out on how we are losing in Iraq, It's chaos. samo samo heads up his buttso. Terrorist twist the meaning of the Koran. FRIEDMAN twists the meaning of Lance. Kerry is in France, I wonder is he meeting with terrorists under the cover face time while meeting with Lance.

We are now playing defense. A top C.E.O. wants to be paid not based on his performance, but based on the average of his four main rivals! That is like Lance Armstrong's saying he will race only if he is guaranteed to come in first or second, no matter what his cycling times are on each leg. I may not agree with the whole article but this paragraph hit home for me. As a lowly shareholder, I am appalled by the sweetheart deals cooked up in far too many boardrooms that pay out excessive rewards for what too often proves to be complete incompetence.
