This has been bothering me for a long time..are we seeing the fall of honestdy in modern society? Or has the fall already happened and are we dealing with the fallout. The reason I bring this up is because of the immense amount of media attention given to such issues as Watergate, Iran-Contra, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and the AWB scandal in Australia.
I mean, can't we even trust people to tell the truth or are we just being jaded in assuming everyone is honest while they are lying their asses off to everyone?

I think it's safe to say that the majority of people believe that politicans are lying sacks of shit--in fact i think it's a politician's job to lie, in order to make you like him so he can either get or stay elected.

If we see this all time, do we believe we can do the same thing and believe it is acceptable? What are we teaching our children in the way of moral values? I just think it's a shame we live in a paranoid society where we cannot trust anyone or anything they say. What are your thoughts on this?
