bogus  : adjective    (Real Word)

not genuine; counterfeit; spurious; sham.

bowgus: person  (Made Up Word By Me)

Overwhelmingly convinced that their view of the world is right and true despite what others think.  They live their fraudulent lives in the false hope that their duplicitous nature will not be discovered.  Honesty and righteousness is trumpeted over all things to mask their insecurities and failures.

Sound familiar?  Most people have bowgus tendencies.  Some go whole hog and everyone around them be damned.  These are the ones I want to focus on.  These are the career politicians who feel superior and entitled or the corporate executives who raid the cookie jar for the their own selfish reasons and purposes.

These are the people who do not believe they need to follow the rules of civility or need to practice empathy with their fellow man.

Sounds pessimistic.  It may be, however truth is never rosy and bright; it just is.

Any thoughts?
