What came to mind while reading this post was the ditty we chanted as children: "Liar, Liar, pants on fire!" They really do seem to be greedy children.

I have found over the years that the politicians market whatever they want us to believe - if it's nastier than they think we can take all in one bite, they spoon-feed it to us little by little. After a while the nasty feeling when we first heard of it wears off. We seem to not pay attention, or decide we can do nothing about it anyway, become passive, and that is dangerous!

Yes it is sad in a way Pat. Sometimes folk would rather believe a lie that's the problem.

I believe they will find they are mistaken, and sooner rather than later, though not soon enough for me!

It seems to me the level of lying is what it has always been - it's just that the lies are about different things than before...

if one reads the history of Rome one starts to understand how a republic can turn into a Dictatorship...scary even though your founding Fathers did put the constitution into good wording.
I don't abide a liar either.
