    So humans are incapable of surviving without lying then? How sad is that? :( Thank you for your reply D. I don't lie and I'm 81. Wonder why I am doing fine without lying but others drown when they don't?  T'is a puzzlement. This post was edited by RosieG at May 8, 2019 6:56 AM MDT

    Little white lies lubricate society. If your spouse asks "Does my butt look fat in this?" it is almost a universal that you DON'T answer truthfully ...

    Big black lies like those told by politicians (of all colours, the Dems aren't lily white either) are inexcusable, but there doesn't seem to be any end to them.

    I would argue that m'dear. Why? Well because you adore your spouse so she will always be lovely in your eyes. You might have a favorite dress she wears and you could let her know that. But why couldn't you answer truthfully to her question by saying "you always look beautiful to me". How is that a lie? See? Thank you for your reply R. As for pols the worst of the worst that ever was or will be is the sb prez. Any ideas how to get rid of him? ALL will be reviewed! :(
