Im hearing more and more about the right to lie defense when a politician and now even journalist get in trouble.
Is lying now a value to many?
Some believe “if you are not cheating you are not trying.”
Is it if you are not lying you are not loyal?
I hate the defense “everyone lies.” As if it makes it okay. A member of the stake presidency used such argument with me. The problem was that in the past when you were caught in a lie you paid a price. Now it seems not only perfectly acceptable but seen as some sort of expectation to lie and there is a reward for doing it.
