HOUSE ON FIRE

Among the groups, the people, the sources, the statements, I assume are not being honest, valid or true, are:

Politicians explaining their background, what they really meant when they said what they said, what they plan to do.

Advertisements, commercials, salesmen, heralding the value of products/services and the competitive nature of their prices.

Anything said by anyone who says "to tell you the truth" when they don't say "to tell you the truth".

Anything said at the United Nations.

Anything said/promised/agreed to by leaders/spokesmen of immoral nations.

Surveys which fail to prove they are of a representative group from which a generalization can be made, which means all surveys.

Arguments based on an unproven cause and effect relationship.

Oaths/promises by men of sexual fidelity and lustlessness.

The alertness of television news alerts.

Anyone who claims to be doing "all I/we can".

Anyone who professes to tell me what God wants.

Anyone who claims to be clairvoyant/have extra sensory perception or can levitate at will.

Antique dealers.

Pool players who say "let's play for a few bucks just to make it interesting".

"You have the cutest baby".

"Like new".

Cosmetic surgeons who promise "no one will know".

"Your expected waiting time is 2 minutes".

And, of course, ".........................".
