With the exception of someone such as an Oprah Winfrey, who is the Product, CEOs are essentially interchangable. As to the rest of it, you are a pathetic, rude, bigotted, blowhard, and bully. You can't take a photograph to save your life, and are hardly in a position to judge what anyone else choses to do with their life, in relation to photography or anything else. With your pretentious gaelic quotation, and your use of a Yale alumn email line, you constanly show us what a sad, pathetic little creature you are.

"======================== " "BD " "Define "excess" and tell us your own gross annual income, so that we can "compare. I made $78,500 gross last year, and probably netted around "$22,000. Be as honest with me, or hold our peace. " "And tell me just what our standard is for an "excess" income. I have "failed, but still desire, to make as much money as I am capable of making. "Your co0mments are simply sour grapes in that you are incapable of making "such sums. I repect those who are capable of earnign this income, while "your own insecurities lead you to the conclusion that, as YOU are unable to "earn such sums, those who do so must be EVIL. Sorry, the rational "disconnects in that one are multiple. " "Agian, what is your standard of "excess" and how do you derive it? If an "executive takes over a company with a NET profit of $100 bvillion a year "and increases it to, say, a NET profit of $300 Billion a year and all "found, why not a fee of $800 million? Success earns its own price. Movie "stars make huge sums of money for doing nothing other than an ephemeral "matter of acting in a movie which exists and then is gone save in DVD. "Corporate CEO's make decisions which affect uis for generations. " "BD, your approach is proably a bit skewed. Those who add value get "rewarded. No one other than my mother ever had an unkind word about Andrew "Carnegie, as he added huge sums to the pockets of his workers and, the "reality you hate to admit,to the natioal wealth which we all enjoy. " "Be real. Value is as value does. You earn it or you go bankrupt. BD, if "you have half a testicle, go out on your own as an indepentend "phtoographer.
