So Christopher and I got into a discussion about this…
Is it okay to lie to your mate?
My theory on this is generally no. It’s not okay. He brought up an example that if he saw my cat die a horrible death and I came home and to spare me further pain, told me the cat died in its sleep, is that okay? Sure… that lie actually serves a noble purpose and it isn’t going to do anything but cause pain for me to know the truth about kitty. Sort of like when someone asks you if you like their hair cut, and you don’t, but what are they going to do now that the hair is gone, right? So you say you like it.

Is that fair? is it sticking the rich with what they deserve? Or is it a sign of a growing social problem? As you file your tax return, and as the candidates cite assorted half-truths about U.S. taxes, those questions are worth our attention - as long as we face the surprising facts.
