Imagine.....you're invited to dinner with the CEO of a major corporation

the invitation is 'social'. There is no 'group'..... you are a direct/solo conversant. So, what would you say/ask?

After using the Dale Carnige routine of letting them talk about themselves by asking things like, "How did you get into the business?", I would then ask the question, "Don't you think coporate rights should be ended because the Constitution is specifically meant for individual rights?"

much to yourself. It would be a very short dinner, probably ending before the first course.

and then say something stupid like, "wow, I don't make that much in 10 years at my salary."

you think about healthcare costs? What are your ideas? Your company's ideas?

Or, maybe something totally different. Who knows? Depends on the situation, I guess.

I think you're looking for a corporations are evil blanket response, but I won't go there.

and the philosophies that influenced them
to make the decisions they do for the peons of the world


I have talked to some of them high up in the board of directors
of major oil, energy and power companies,
and very few are essentially ethical but human at a fault,
but they have their own religion, which I would not call,
to have an ethical intellectual conscious for the most part.


They feel they are the caretakers and gods for this planet
from the wealth and power that they have received.
They control things that power this planet in its primal industrial
development. The next is media.

Wisdom is lacking, but not power.


Some major tech CEOs get it but most are not related to this group don't
if I had a choice on who I admire with CEOs then
I would have to say
Steve Jobs for President.

The invitation was for a reason, and they initiated. Follow their lead.

And do you realize that by achieving that goal you are taking it from hard-working families, either by cutting their wages and benefits or by denying them their fair share of the economic growth that they have a major part of creating?

pass the gravy please. :D

I would really like to find out how they became so successful

I'd have a good pitch for a business idea - what else are you going to talk about? Hegel? Marx? Paul Hawken? Noam Chomsky? Anything they don't already know about capitalism or their own business and its consequences, they're not going to want to learn from me.

they are on the board.

They must get there because they have major bull-shit skills these days
If you look they travel from one CEO job to the next.


I am thinking of downsizing myself, but first I most look into
the other means of outsourcing, cutting benefits and
general bull-shit short range strategy.

They get there $24 million and then leave
thank you FORD

But I told my old CEO that we should get behind what became HAVA and use our top rating in software development tools and submit a proposal to oversee a secure electronic voting design as a standard.

He asked me to write a white paper on it.

My immediate boss (who is a big repug donor) was against it because "it was too hard to do business with the government."

That was in April 2001, in June I had a stroke and two heart attacks on the same day. Haven't been able to work since.
