Response to Sam Cattell's "Ask No Questions"

I really like when you discuss how we've been lied to our whole lives. Whether somebody has been taught religion or not at a young age we are almost spoon-fed lies. I think that ultimately you nailed it when you stated "personally I believe that lying is an integral part of being human; it allows us to surprise others, withhold information to our advantage, and ultimately protect ourselves against the varied and unpredictable nature of life." I mean is there a specific person that started lying first? Not that we know of. Theres no company that created lies and sold them to us even thought they knew they were "bad" (like cigarettes or booze) so maybe it really is just in our genes. Nice post though-very interesting read!
