Mensan seeks work

[Trent Shipley]

I have never met a wealthy entrepreneur who could meet the definition of 
'honest' that they demand/expect in resumes, from job applicants, etc.

It's not a matter of honesty.  If you believe that I submit that you are both 
nieve and subject to a false consciousness imposed by capitalist 
Episcopalians on bourgeois Baptists and Methodists.  

I recommend watching owners, management, marketing, and sales to see what is 
really meant by terms like "integrety" and "honesty".  These are self-serving 
terms that tend to translate into (1) "don't get caught" and (2) never be so 
stupid as to enunciate item #1 in the terms that that fool Trent (or 
Machiavelli) just did herein.

What I find interesting is that most millionaries, being consumate 
politicians,  say that their _integrity_ was a primary contributor to their 
success.  What I find *amazing* is that they honestly believe they are men 
(almost all of them are men) of moral integrity. [See the Millionaire Mind.  
I reccomend the book even if I don't quite know how to interpret it, except 
to expect never to be a millionaire.]
