Once upon a time, a country lost its way. It became acceptable to lie: in business, in advertising, and especially to get or keep a government job. At first it was small lies about personal foibles and future intentions. Soon it was whopping, HUGE lies about what had been done and what was next.
“Everybody lies!” cynics claimed, as if that made it okay. Party liners insisted that only the Other Side lied. Good people knew that lying was wrong, but they didn’t know how to stop it.
One day a man...
