4. Poorly stated guidelines around gray areas: That's why they are called gray areas in the first place. Most auditors and legal firms use "judgement"
A recent movie starring Richard Dreyfus and Bill Murray tells the story of a man desperately trying to be included as a member of his psychiatrist's family. Whenever the doctor attempted to exclude him, his family would respond by asking, "What about Bob?"In the midst of all
1. CEO and Executive pay: Realistically speaking this is a weak argument at best. CEO pay has always been big and its getting bigger because lot of these executives have big risk jobs and are responsible for millions or billions of $ and thousands of employees. Add to this the legal ramifications of doing a bad job, their job is not easy. Fortune's Rick Kirkland wrote a piece on CEO pay and its an interesting read, but still does not offer any solutions.

Full Disclosure of pay for executives: SEC chairman Christopher Cox has stated full disclosure guidelines will be issued soon, and the "perks" that executives get do add up, but still this argument is also not very strong.

Most auditors and legal firms use "judgement" around these areas such as grant and enforcement dates for options. The SEC's has stated they will have better guidelines around summer '06. This is also not a compelling argument for backdating not getting a bigger attention and outrage from the public.
5. World cup Soccer: (grin) - We made this up. Newsweek had a piece about why this time the world cup soccer has more attention of Americans. This is by far the most compelling argument why the general public does not care much about the options backdating story.
