When I see how much intentional lying people

Last edited Sat Dec 31, 2022, 12:26 PM - Edit history (1)

like Trump and Santos require just to get through the day, and they’re not suffering from an anxiety disorder over it, it tells me that we have reached some human litmus test that we need to respond to. People who do this AND we are aware of it, should, at least be unqualified for public office. To tolerate it is to establish a normal standard of behavior that anyone can follow. That is the path to a National security issue for all of us. A clear and present danger.

All that one really has in life is their own integrity.
Once integrity is lost, you have nothing.
It will be very hard to restore this tenant in our society unless we can teach very young children that this matters.
And, parents who lie/steal/cheat are all too common.
