Loyalty runs deep...alliances run shallow

It never ceases to amaze me how people use other people to get what they want. I'm not referring to bitching at the cashier at the grocery store to get your gallon of milk for $2.15 instead of $2.35...I'm talking about people being manipulative in ways that could be hurtful and have long term lasting effects. In the past week I have witnessed people stringing each other along, with alterior motives to end things once they get what they want. It's sad that I have to sit by and watch this scharade...it's pathetic really.
