> I can't agree with this bit. Rewarding someone for doing something that they should be doing anyway, and not punishing them for not doing stuff they should be doing sounds backwards to me. Sure, rewards are good, and I totally believe in the power of bribery. (I taught a class of 8 year olds and bribery works great...[snip middle]
...I know that bribery works. But I also had to punish them when they did things that they knew were wrong. Anyway...that's all I had to say.

I can't agree with this bit. Don't call it bribery; it sounds so...gauche. Incentives, that's what it is. Incentives. Not bribery. Bribery sounds bad. Incentives sounds good. Say it with me now: incentives! Incentives!
