re: lying at work
I want to throw in my two cents worth here - I have been in the corporate world a long time, and have never lied through omission or commission regarding a work matter. I pride myself on my integrity, and would quit before I would do the things you were describing. As a matter of fact, I have, and under circumstances that left me in very dire financial straits. I do not think I am better than anyone else - I think far more people than you realize are honest. We all make mistakes an have moments of weakness, but we don't make a policy of lying on a regular basis to achieve our goals. The ends do not justify the means.
<<What Clinton did was stupid. But it was a relatively trivial sin, affecting only him, Monica, his immediate family, and his God>>
You forgot Paula Jones. You also forgot the American people, to whom he lied directly last January. Regardless of how he found himself there, Clinton had the opportunity to come clean, and chose to make his "crime" worse by increasing his sphere of "lie-ees" from just the people involved in the original court case, to the whole world. |
