Profit from deceit From the "Hyde Park" department Following the Grand Theft Auto saga, I came across the following statement from Congressman Fred Upton: "A company cannot be allowed to profit from deceit." At first, it struck me as incredibly ironic and hypocritical, to hear those words from a politician. Trying to dig out some dirt on Mr. Upton for the purpose of this entry, however, yielded nothing. The Congressman seems to have an exceptionally high work ethics, very consistent track record, and even a good record against government waste. While I may not agree with his record on voting against civil liberties whenever possible, at least he doesn't flip-flop, and stays his course. His only crime right now seems to be that he's in the same camp as Hillary Clinton, but that may be more a function of Mrs. Clinton being much more flexible when deciding what opinion she'd have on a given day. Still, the overall reaction stands: a member of Congress, no matter how ethical a person he is, should criticize companies for profiting from deceit. It's bad form not to show any professional courtesy. July 26, 2005 at 6:09 pm GMT by Jozef |
