Have you ever encountered someone who was dishonest about something? How about shoplifting? How about someone who sneaks out at night to do something dangerous and lies to his or her parents about it? How about a politician who tells a lie in order to get votes, even though he or she knows better? What can or should you do about it? Would you not do anything or say anything because it might get you into an argument with someone or label you as a snitch, etc.? If it's a politician, can you go on line and try to put the record straight? Often the liar will label his/her critics as liars, when he/she is telling the lie.
