Ethics....and other scandals!

I attended a talk on "Ethics in Business" last night. Always good to see what happened over the last decade, with the 101 Acts and pieces of legislation, Kings III etc. And let me not get into all the unintended manifestations of people in high places - it made for an evening of high entertainment!

We spend so much time talking about what is right and what is wrong, when people of such high intelligence should know this by now? It is rather the discussion on the choices we make, in spite of knowing, and how we justify these decision, that make me sit up and take notice.

A highlight of the evening...a reflection of what happens when you become a highly regulated society, with a free media :)

But the best part was when the speaker ended with...."enough with the applause, now throw the money!". How's that for awesome irony :)
