As much as I disagree with such a premise on an ethical level, I am reluctant to say that it does make some sense, Rick. Tell me, have you ever "fudged" the truth when you took out a loan or filled in a credit card appliction? I have. I've also "fudged" expenses on my tax returns. Sorry, it's wrong but so are some of the unfair restrictions and rejections that would have been visited upon me had I told the black- and-white truth. I can't count on my two hands liberal friends I have who are self- employed who are the first ones to cheat on their income tax. THEY ALL DO IT...WITHOUT EXCEPTION. I got declined on health insurance because I answered the question about drug use honestly. I had used recreational drugs for a period of 8 months that ended in 1969 (and have been anti-drug since) yet when asked in 1995 whether I used, I answered "yes" and got rejected. Well, I've lied ever since on that question and I got accepted...finally. So, is it justified to lie to get on the course? Perhaps... Maybe it depends on how important you think world peace is to achieve...
