[Chad C. Mulligan]

An anecdote I've recounted before: Colleague of mine returned from a long period TDY in China, and among other things told me that the Chinese don't even have a word for ethics. But why would they? It's a European Christian concept, and I'd say today that it didn't reach Russia, either.

And I learned a new-to-me acronym last month, listing reasons why people betray their country: MICE.
Money
Ideology
Coercion
Ego

UFOs? Don't get me started....

Very good. I can name one of their people in three:

A = arrogant
S = self important
S = scumbag

Might be a little more to the point with the rest of it:

H = haughty
O = overbearing
L = lowly
E = egotist
S = SOB

Hope that covers it.
