Irrelevant, Scottie.  If I get hurt (and I do often) by others' dishonesty, 
I work to shrug it off, not completely successfully, but improving.  
Dishonest people get hurt, too.  When I lived a SEVERELY dishonest life, my 
troubles were mostly caused by me.

If I stop making the mistake of talking out of both  sides of my mouth, My 
troubles decrease, regardless of others' actions.

Sorry, not trying to be a pillar of virtue here, just trying to have more 
integrity on a daily basis.

Thor
