Okay, I know this thread is over ...no frickin way.<br /><br />Okay, I know this thread is over a year old... but google is my friend.<br /><br />I just wanted to say ... I was a total fan of your college band when I was a college lad. In fact, I was sitting here listening to "You wouldn't be so lonely if You weren't such a bitch" wishing you'd put "Christian Schoolgirls" on that demo tape.Spork In the Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926832985660342541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835759.post-13250333336886144002007-02-13T14:59:00.000-06:002007-02-13T14:59:00.000-06:00well, I'll be.

The group I'm talking about happens to be a musical outfit full of conservatives (unlike myself). We've been playing music as a community service (and because it's fun) for over 22 years.

My point, which I think you clearly got, is that if you're going to claim to be a non-profit that has a mission for improving the world, that world extends to your own section of it. Plus, if you have non-profit status because you need to operate outside of the rules of our economy in order to achieve your mission, then you can also operate outside of the rules of supply and demand.<BR/><BR/>I just don't believe that our country is a meritocracy or even set up to be, so I don't believe that people get paid what they're worth. And how much sooner is the absense of your janitorial staff going to be noticed than the absense of a CEO?<BR/><BR/>But that's kind of beside my point. My point is that it's bull to say "Oh, we're non-profit do-gooders, so we need special rules" when it benefits you and "Well, screw you, employees, that's just the way of supply-and-demand" when it benefits you.<BR/><BR/>One solution is to improve the lives of everyone in the organization.<BR/><BR/>The other is what you say, to remove their special status. I don't guess I see how that really improves things.<BR/><BR/>But I'm a commie, so what do I know?Aunt Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033039280432976501noreply@blogger.com
