Editor’s Note
Back in the old days — that’s less than a decade and before there were such things as blogs and interactive conversations with readers — editors used to respond to their newspaper readers with an “editor’s note.” Sometimes it clarified a point made in a letter to the editor. Sometimes it offered a correction. Sometimes it was just a simple explanation. An editor’s note was a handful of sentences; maybe a four or five paragraphs. It was always a personal link between the editor and the reader. Only difference between it and today’s blog is the immediacy and the platform. Welcome to Editor’s Note.

Is it a guy thing or just a result of numbers?

Surely, the reason so many men get caught with their hands in the cookie jar — and end up in headlines around the world — is because there are just so many more of them sitting around the board room tables. Maybe if those tables were filled with women and just a token guy or two, then women would be in the headlines.

That’s got to be it. Otherwise, we’d have to assume these male powerbrokers are incapable of learning that stealing is a bad thing. Take these guys, for instance. One of them is among the richest people in the world. One was headed for the CEO spot at IBM.

I mean, these guys are not your run of the mill, stop to pick up a quart of milk after work types. They are simply the latest in a long string of guys with holes in their souls who created the economic mess we’re cleaning up these days.

It’s a numbers thing, right?

    The worst part is that these jerks cast a negative shadow all over the many, many guys that run good companies and lead a clean life. Like the saying says…a few rotten apples spoils the whole barrel.
