I would never judge anyone except myself. Everyone needs to examine himself, for we are all different. I am willing to take the chance that most would agree that dishonesty is unacceptable.

And how do you know for SURE what is right deep down?

Give me a break...you sound like a liberal, how do we know the difference between right and wrong?

Everyone who has a conscience knows what the "Golden Rule" is...in any religion! We don't have to go very deep to know that lying is wrong...no matter how large or small the lie is. And I don't want to debate the meaning of the word "IS"!

May I interpret your post to Carolyn...as well as voicing my opinion?

1-And how do you know for SURE what is right deep down?

Yes read the 10 commandments.

2- Very truthful and well intentioned men can do horrible things, either accidentally or on purpose

True but a truthful man will stand a much better chance during his lifetime NOT doing horrible things to others.

3-and very bad corrupt men can do great things- again either accidentally or on purpose.

Once again I agree. Hitler was such a man.

4-You can make a guess about what is right- but you can never be sure.

True but if you have a set of morals that are righteous you will almost always end up on top. You must prove this moral standard by how you live your life.

5- By the time history proves you right or wrong it's too late to do anything.

I will reserve my thoughts on you comment.

6- Further, people can be looking ahead and come to a different conclusion than you do.

Yes! Isn't our political system a wonderful thing. Im proud to call myself a conservative.
