The late, great Peter Drucker had a core question that he would ask workers and management when beginning to analyze a company: what do you do for your money? Drucker (who was incredibly influential in turning the Japanese car companies profitable) found that many, many people were unable to cogently answer that question, usually saying things like, "I go to meetings," or "I'm in charge of the blah-blah."
Drucker's viewpoint, after a long life of examining large companies, was that executive compensation should be, at most, 20 times greater than the compensation for the lowest paid worker. Obviously the exact number is subject to argument, but the important part is acceptance of the fact that what a CEO actually contributes to a company is worth much less than the hundreds-of-times the average worker's salary that they (in general) currently earn.
Even worse, executive pay is often not based upon performance -- consider the K-mart CEO who ran the company as it ground its way down over several years, all the way into bankruptcy, who resigned after the bankruptcy and received millions and millions in a golden parachute because he was "not fired for cause." And was able to turn around and get another CEO job right away. Or the recent AIG bonuses, in the hundreds of millions, going to the executives in the division responsible for AIG's de facto destruction, a heavy contributor to the current economic crisis.
In this article ( http://tinyurl.com/cxuhey ) the government appointed chairman of AIG makes use of the "We cannot attract and retain the best and the brightest talent to lead and staff the A.I.G. businesses" argument. A common argument for outrageous executive compensation, the "reward to attract and retain" argument is, quite frankly, bullshit. (As the former CEO of Dupont once put it.) Yes, you must reward people for their work, but concentrating such rewards on executives (and to such outrageous levels) is simply part of the incestuous relationship between executives and boards and large scale stockholders. If you allow people to vote themselves obscene and dangerous amounts of bread and circuses, guess what? You'll get obscene and dangerous amounts of bread and circuses.
The same executives who outsource jobs overseas (sacrificing quality for short term labor savings -- and as a veteran in a Fortune 500 tech company I know what I'm talking about here, I worked with overseas programmers on a daily basis) don't seem likely, anytime soon, to turn that same logic on themselves. Why not outsource the CEO positions to CEO candidates in places like South America? Maybe the quality won't be as high, but they will surely be cheaper!
I do not know if the stimulus package will work. My macroeconomics courses instilled in me a healthy skepticism in the ability of a government to control something as fluid as a national or global economy. I do, however, know that the power to limit the power of executives is basically currently in the hands of the executives. The whole reason for a corporation is to evade responsibility, and those who attain the highest levels of corporate leadership are infused with that ethic.
Kipling's Gods of the Copybook Headings have spoken again, and the ONLY way to gain control of the runaway accumulation of power in corporations is through government limits. NOT government control (such as instituted by the Republicans in response to the crisis, and continued now by the Democrats), but by limits. Why are there game laws limiting the type and quantity of game you can gather? To create a sustainable ecosystem, to prevent, in a broad manner, the tragedy of the commons. Our economic ecosystem is in need of such limits, without them people are just too damned selfish, stupid and shortsighted to avoid periodic catastrophe.

Something good about Mississippi Part 2!
Yes, faithful readers, something ELSE good about Mississippi, and so soon!
Little Tokyo II (one of a few restaurants owned and operated by a Japanese family) serves, hands down, the best sushi that I have tasted in my life. I was in awe at the intense and interesting flavor combinations in the various "house" styles of sushi. Yes, it feels a bit funny to order a "Mississippian roll," but it is definitely worth it.

Something good about Mississippi
If you know the Pompotous, you know he is an extremely fair man. So the Pompotous needs to speak about something GOOD about Mississippi.
Our house has a fairly large courtyard. The two external walls are lined with vegetation, and the walls fronting the house are lined with french doors. This provides easy viewing of the multitude of wildlife that stops by to visit. We have had cats, mice, opossums, geese, ducks, hummingbirds, various other birds, chameleons, squirrels, chipmunks, and frogs visit from time to time. (And a deer was seen on the street outside the courtyard.)
Our latest visitors consist of two adult morning doves and their child. In addition to watching the feeding of the tyke, Pompotous and crew have observed the mama bird illustrating to the youngster how to fly, and, when leaving via the courtyard, we've observed the mama bird doing the "Oh, I'm damaged!" trick to lure us away from the baby.
It was very neat watching the mama dove demonstrate (in bits and pieces) techniques for flying, and was a positive Mississippi experience for the Pompotous and family.

Home schooling (for now the answer is "no")
As an atheist (and as what in todays terms would be an exceptionally globally gifted youngster who was radically advanced 5 grades and still ended up bored) home schooling is something I've considered for my little girl, currently 2 1/2. In our former home of Lexington, KY the top rated pre-school in the city was a secular one. The closest thing to that which we've found in Jackson, MS is the public school Montessori, which she'll be entering next fall.
Since my spouse is Episcopalian, my daughter is already exposed to imaginary friends, so atheism isn't a strong motivator for me when it comes to considering home schooling. I'm much more worried about her intelligence. It's too early to tell if she'll inherit my global gifts, but at 2 1/2 she's probably averaging 6-10 words per sentence, often ranging up into 15-20 word sentences with grammatically correct conditional clauses.
Exceptionally gifted children don't really need school to learn. (When asked how I managed to get a 31 composite on the ACT at the age of 11 I always answered, "I read science fiction.") As a former college instructor with an extensive liberal arts background, I wouldn't worry so much about providing my daughter with sufficient academic preparation for college. (Although MOST of the resources that I skimmed in thinking about this are Christian-centric.)
In some of the studies that I've been reading lately it looks like structured radical advancement has the most benefits for really smart kids, and most of that benefit seems to come from the social opportunities of interacting with people on your own level of thinking. (As one researcher put it, no one expects to mainstream a child with an IQ of 40, why should we assume that a child with an IQ of 160 should be mainstreamed?) Public schools are, as vjack says (http://www.atheistrev.com/2009/03/atheist-homeschooling.html), centers for social instruction, but that doesn't ALWAYS mean that the social aspects are beneficial (although those aspects certainly CAN be in some, perhaps most, cases).
My own daughter is extremely social. She stayed at home the first few months after we moved to Mississippi, but kept asking to go to daycare (which she'd done before I retired). She simply finds being around lots of other children absolutely fascinating. She emotionally craves that contact. At this point, for my daughter, home schooling isn't currently an option. As a rationalist, of course, new evidence can always lead to change.
I think that the real question for atheists when it comes to home schooling is, "What causes more damage? Socializing with children who are very, very different (either in intelligence or in world view), or having very limited socializing until the dangerous late-teens?" I have trouble believing that any child who is too far off the "norm" can emerge unscathed from childhood, and I think that all parents should navigate their individual courses based on the circumstances that confront them. (Duh!)

"Knowing" people
A delusional person I know wanted to know if we ever "know" people. Here's the relevant portion of the Pompotous's response.
With consciousness as an emergent property there will always be levels of examination where we cannot "know" anyone because at those levels there are too many variables for prediction (and because the attribute of "person" has not yet emerged at those levels). Sufficiently extreme input can give atypical results.
On some level we can know people, though, and we can certainly make predictions based on patterns of behavior. We may not always understand why a person does what they do, but, at least with most people, there is a good chance of understanding what they are going to do. (Such prediction was my profession, in fact. As a hyper-competent genius there is no way that I'm going to understand what goes on in the head of an average office worker, but after years of experimentation I became quite good at predicting how an average office worker would interact with her environment in any given situation.)
So, yes, for certain values of "know" you can know people. For example: my wife was pleased just a couple of days ago because I knew what toppings to put on a kind of sub when she just told me the type she wanted (and she hadn't ordered that type before). That same day I knew what my little girl was going to say to me when she came into the kitchen and found me after finishing her afternoon treat.
On higher levels, I know that if my friends jumped off a bridge I probably would, too, because they'd have a damned good reason for doing so. I know that I'd almost certainly do anything my father-of-choice would ask me to do because he wouldn't ask me to do anything that would violate who I am as a person. I know, from decades of experience, how my friends will be there for me when I need them. I know that my wife can be trusted with my heart and happiness, I know that she won't ever be shuddering and gasping under another man whom she's told she loves with all her heart.
The first and last trick to knowing is to look at people's actions, not their words. A minority of people lie because that is their nature or they enjoy it. Many of them are good at deception, and it takes a while to see in their actions and in their effects on those around them what they are really like.
You also have to be able to look at reality. Far more numerous than the selfish and deliberate liars are the delusional liars, who lie to themselves as well as others. These are usually desperate people who convince themselves that their fantasy is reality. The religious are the most obvious of the delusional liars, but they don't have a monopoly on it. Many of them mean well, but they have an attenuated grasp of reality and, I'm afraid, not much of a basis for a moral code. Delusionals liars, since they buy into their own fantasies, are very sincere and often think that they mean well, even when the results of their actions clearly indicate selfishness.
A subset of delusional liars are the incompetent. Incompetent people are, by definition, unable to accurately gauge their own abilities. And the vast majority of people are incompetent. Marketing types like focus groups, but usability professionals realize that you cannot trust focus groups because what people SAY about themselves is, at least 90% of the time, wrong.
In all cases, longitudinal studies are required. Observe people over time in various situations. Do they not have close, long term friends of a diversity of "types"? If not, why not? Do people seem better for knowing them? If not, why not? Do people trust them? Why or why not? Are their assessments of reality accurate? Do they know themselves and their own strengths and weaknesses? Do they know the strengths and weaknesses of their loved ones, and move to nurture or protect as necessary?
And in all cases, look at what people do to know them, not what they say. The abusive boyfriend that hits "his" woman will protest his love while using his fists. The terrorist, of any stripe, political or personal, says, "Look what YOU made me do," while deciding to hurt the innocent. The "family values" nuts have the highest divorce rates and spew hatred and venom against people working on creating families, while some pro-life "people" say that all life is sacred while killing doctors and nurses.
Look at what people do, how they influence the world. You can know good people because they are, in general, in touch with reality and have, in general, a positive effect on those around them that continues over time.

Words versus violence
I've never been a violent man. As a little Pompotini there were a few acts of discreet violence, but always in defense of someone else. I never had to physically protect myself because I always found that threats and intimidation were sufficient to forestall actual violence. (Which causes me to question some of the extremes that school systems these days go to in order to stop threats of violence. But I digress.
After growing from a Pompotini into a Pompotous, I've engaged in violence twice: once in taking a knife away from a rather rude man trying to rob it by pointing at my throat, once in response to a muscle-bound teenager who thought to beat the crap out of me for working at a place he'd been fired from. In both cases my assailants fled the scene in distress, and I was not actually hurt, but the feelings engendered by the violence, the fear, the breakdown of coherent consciousness when staring at a butcher knife in the hands of someone screaming at me, those impressions remain with me.
I could have killed them rather than driven them away with few hurts to anything other than their pride -- but I am not a violent man, although I capable of using it in its minimum forms when necessary. Had I not thought myself capable of inflicting harm under certain circumstances I would never have joined the armed forces of the US in my youth.
I have been the target of words and the target of blows and knife thrusts, and it still amazes me that there are people who equate words with violence. In graduate school I ran across a woman who, when I asked her if she would rather be called a "bitch" or shot in the face with a .45 caliber pistol, replied, "I don't know, words hurt for so long." This linking of words with violence has a following of sorts in the business world as well, particularly with sexual harassment consultants. In the latter case this is, perhaps, a case of frantically reaching for an argument that will be explain the seriousness of sexual harassment to the kind of microcephalic morons who might commit it, but I think not.
Take, for example, section 295A of the Indian Penal Code: Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise, insults or attempts to insult the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.
Pardon me, but the politicians that passed this, and the theists who utilize it, are lame fuckwits. 295a IPC assumes that words are dangerous. There are very, very few cases where I'll agree that words are dangerous, and they all involve violence in some form or another. Saying that you are a fuckwit with a ridiculous imaginary friend -- does that break any of your bones? Ignite your possessions and turn them to ash? In any way resemble stereo wire connected to your alternated, twisted and run into your gas tank?
No. There is a qualitative difference between words and violence. Words directly leading to real harm -- such as Manson telling his followers to kill someone, or shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater, thereby being sure to cause a few injuries in the attempts to exit the building, are few and far between, and certainly don't include things like making fun of some made-up characters in a book.
It is not words that are dangerous, it is power: the power to get someone to murder for you, the power to manipulate people into acts of violence upon themselves, the power to terrify a subordinate into putting up with sexual advances. You have little choice in how your body will deal with a bullet to the head, your mind has much choice in how to deal with someone calling you a name. When power and circumstances take away your choice, that is when speech is dangerous and calls for censure.
So for all those religionists out there who cry out at the horrors of saying, "Hey, you're an irrational idiot about this whole religion thing, aren't you?" I say, "Shove it." If a Christian burns down your Christian church (which is almost certainly the most likely church burning in the US), then you are the victim of violence and should be entitled to justice. If a teenager in a car shouts, "There is no God, chill the fuck out!" as he drives past your church, you have no cause for complaint.

Barbarians
My heart goes out to my Indian friends. Apparently it is a crime to tell the truth about religions in India. This article in the Independent gives sufficient explanation and information for further pursuit of the situation: http://tinyurl.com/bny9ma
Who knew that such a disgusting law existed in India? Not I. But the law isn't the extent of the shamefulness in this case, apparently some barbaric Muslims blocked roads and attacked policeman in response to the reprinting of the article by Johann Hari. And why did these ridiculous people turn to violence? Because someone wrote a few words about someone long dead? Allah, like all other god(s)ess(es) is, of course, completely fictional, but if he weren't, if he were real, wouldn't you think that his Prophet on Earth could stand up to a little name calling? Five year olds stand being called names on the playground every day, but this Prophet fellow gets his nose out of joint to the point of violence over nothing but words? And accurate words at that? My, my, what a baby. And what a stupid bunch of followers this baby must have if violence is their answer to speech.
We have our own barbarians here in America, primarily of the Christian stripe. For the most part our religious violence is sly, hidden and isolated, and our govenrment organs, particularly the police, are fiercely protective of their theoretical monopoly on large scale violence. So we export most of the violence. (Hi, Iraq! How ya' doin'?)
Barbarians. So many, many barbarians. To Johann Hari, and, more importantly, to Ravindra Kumar and Anand Sinha I send my respect and my sympathy and my admiration. Good luck, and thank you for your actions. The world needs more people like you.
