A degree of lying - you know, white lies - seems to be inherent in all languages and all forms of communication.
From Matthew Lesko
Good government only happens when the people working in it do their jobs, and do them well.
I am providing a service that many people obviously value.
Many scammers are only using personal checks for payment because they can take the money and run.
Not offering this kind of guarantee means that they do not believe in their product enough, and they do not care about if a salesman is over promising or over selling their product.
One of the worst things to come out of the Consumer Protection Board's misleading claims is the impression that government resources are to hard to get and just aren't available for regular people like you and I.
Teachers can go on cruises with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and anyone can spend the summer as a volunteer in a National Parks and even earn money doing it.
What is also strange to me is that public libraries have always been in the forefront of opposing censorship.
Government workers often get a bad rap, but it's rare for them to receive much appreciation when government works.
I can't help thinking if she - the director of a government agency - is this ignorant about what funding is available and where the money comes from - how often lower-level bureaucrats must give wrong answers when people are looking for help to start a business.
