There Are Liars, Damned Liars and Politicians

I'll put this right out in the open – everyone is a liar. All you need to do is tell a lie once and you're a liar. You can't take it back,do over or reset...take some responsibility instead. It doesn't matter if you're 100 seconds old or 100 years old when you tell the lie, you're still a liar! However, it's understandable to lie during certain situations, and I'm here to separate all of you liars into three different categories – liars, damned liars and politicians.
 
The average law-abiding citizen falls into the category of “liar.” These people will usually say things like “I didn't eat the last cookie,” or “I came home early last night,” or “I love you.” These lies go from being relatively harmless to life ruining. I'm not going to advocate their actions, but I'm not going to ignore it either. There's also no real way to detect when a liar is doing the deed. Some people will either be really bad at it, in which case you'll know they're lying and the mystery is solved. And some people will be really good at it, in which case you don't know so it doesn't matter. The best thing is probably assuming everyone is lying all the time or everyone is telling the truth all the time – what are the consequences?

The“damned liars” are criminals because they're either eternally damned to the penal system and/or to Hell. You've got con-artists,thieves, murderers and a pack of other swindlers ready to lie to you about everything. These people are very good liars so you need to be ready with hard evidence or you'll doubt yourself. The lies they tell are usually “I wasn't there last night,” or “The contraband in my pocket isn't mine,” or “Even though you found the victim's blood and body parts in my fridge I didn't kill her.” I'm not going to advocate their actions, but they're criminals so what do you expect? Assume a criminal or a suspected criminal is lying to you all the time about everything. Even for something as simple as the color of the sky or the time of day – don't believe the damned liar!

We're now onto the worst kind of liars...politicians! A liar makes sense because sometimes you've got to lie or you lie so much it's second nature – but the liar's lies don't cause the same impact as politician's lies. A damned liar makes sense because of the criminal nature, and while these lies are quite harmful you've got the law going after them on a regular basis. The lies of a politician are the most harmful because they ruin cities, states, nations and eventually the whole world! These people are lying all the time about everything and are quite good at it. In fact, the nature of politics is based on lying – you're trying to convince someone your way is the best way even if it's not. You can't do this by being honest, so you need to lie all the time! But do not fear, there is a solution to this...simply do not vote for any of the politicians and let the system work itself out. I'm not sure what'll happen, bu tit's either going to be very good or very bad.

Good thing I don't tell any lies!
