If I were ever in a position to lie to your face you would probably be able to detect my mendacity very easily. It can certainly be called a form of stupidity. At the same time my flaw leaves me impatient with anything but the utmost ingenuousness.
Do you believe society should help the vulnerable? Can you offer different arguments as to why? In studying history, and in learning about my immediate society, I learned different routes to the answer Yes. In political terms, I learned the Tory argument, the Social Democratic argument, the Socialist argument, and others. I agree with all of them, as the only thing that matters is Yes, and Why is not important, and How can be worked out. I only disagree with those who say No.
