Corperate sociapathy is alive and well.
I just dont understand people sometimes. Why is it that there are people who find it incredibly instinctive or natural just to lie about something rather then just say "I don't know.". So often I meet people, usually in my job, that just seem to want to lie cheat or steal there way through a job or in life in general. They have no compulsion in doing so much less any moral center. I see it time and time again. These are just not nice people in general to deal with. Furthermore what happens is not only do they behave this way and get away with it but in a corporate structure these are the people that are groomed and promoted by the very same types of people. No moral character whatsoever. They just give me the chills in general.
These types of people are the very same people you see that have caused our economy to turn on its very head. People like Goldman Sachs that will put together hedge funds and investments with others and bet against them knowing they are going to fail on the other side selling them to their very same customers as a market boon that will make money. They rip off people for billions of dollars and get away with it. Another example is the "former" VP for IBM who got caught in insider trading along with a variety of other characterless people only to blame it on a relationship with a young lady who sold him into the insider trading to begin with. Time and time again we just let these people get away with this and we just move along like nothing happened.
Then on the other hand we see where groups like FOX NEWS want to stir up contraversy about a Muslim cultural center being built at "911 ground zero" only to find out its 3 blocks away, while shouting about ties to terrorism when the second largest contributor is a muslim himself with ties to the Saudi family who also has ties to the Ladins who helped finance 911 to begin with. Amazes me. Yet people keep running around quoting fox this and that for a republican agenda. It just gets old. Its all very insane and I won't swallow any of it.
