More on stock options
The Mercury News has a front-page story on the rally. My wife drew my attention to it as soon as I walked into the kitchen this morning; she was appalled by its tone. I'll attest that everything he says in the article is true. E.g. it was well-organized and well-funded, right down to the buses and the free pizza (which, as I mentioned yesterday, was responsible for feeding the homeless along with the rest of us.) It's true, this rally didn't look like a sixties war protest--although I do have email from the wife of a co-worker, claiming she was working on raising her hubby's bail money--but I'm betting most of the people at the rally can't remember the sixties. And it's not because they were there. As became clear when Peter Giles asked for a show of hands--of people looking forward to their 50th birthday--for most of us there, the sixties is more about Sesame Street than Ashbury Street.
It's particularly interesting to me that the Mercury News allowed this mostly-negative article to run, given that the editorial board of the paper came out in opposition to expensing options. I guess the editorial workings of a newspaper will remain a mystery to me.
