[DemocratSinceBirth]

We have a Fifth Amendment in this country....


You are innocent until the government proves you are not...

1. Scared.

That's the biggest reason people lie.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

They should have took the Fifth but then they would have lost their jobs....


Oh, and the reason most folks don't lie, steal, or cheat is not because of some grand ethical concerns but the fear of being caught...

15. Only La Cosa Nostra take the Fifth

A politician just couldn't do that.

They lie because in their narcissistic hubris nature, they just know in their gut that they can do anything they want to and get away with it.

What a rude awakening, hahahahahahahha!

I'd have to admit it was me that picked a neighbor's flowers when I was ten. No one saw me. I swear it. Could I lie to a grand jury? Hell, no.
