Henry Ford knew that it would be pointless to build an inexpensive people's car if the people had such low pay that they couldn't afford one. Therefore he paid -- what for the time were -- staggeringly high wages to his workers, so they could afford to buy his cars.
When you sit in you [sic] neighbours [sic*] coach, the coach suffers wear and tear. Are you stealing from your neighbour when you sit in his coach?
Coach? I'm trying to envision who goes around in a coach-in-four these days. Maybe it's the couch? I'll assume it's a UK/USism to sit in rather than on the couch.

As for the argument that intangible property has no value (and thus cannot be stolen), you're full of shit. While it's true that the artist/record company has no less music on hand than before (cf. stealing a CD from Tower Records), you have deprived them of the right to receive renumeration for that copy. They own the IP; they are entitled to get money for a copy of it. Whether $16.99 a pop is a fair price is a reasonable question, but that's another discussion.
He was also the same guy that had 365 pairs of pants and 365 shirts and did laundry once a year so maybe that should have shed a little light on his mental state.
What the fuck is the deal with Scot McNealy's teeth? They reflect more light than the surface of the moon.
The funny thing is, the surface of the Moon is (believe it or not) one of the darkest things in the Solar System! If it were as reflective as, say, the Earth, it would be blindingly bright (like McNealy's teeth?).

Hmmm. What did he do in leap years?

Um, what planet is Business2.0 operating on? The recession was over in 2001? Coulda fooled me (laid off last year on my birthday).
