To the point of Altman, I keep writing in HN that 'where money can be made, money will be made'. Of course he will lie. And of course he will tell the truth. He will pick the right thing to say at the right (convenient) moment. His job is not to tell the truth. His job is to say and do whatever he can (enough to stay out of jail) to make the most money for himself and his partners/shareholders/etc. (but mostly for himself).

I came across to Sex Pistols lyrics before I listened to their music. The lines that have impressed (and etched in my memory) the most are:

  How many ways to get what you want
  I use the best, I use the rest
  I use the N.M.E.
  I use anarchy
