I ALMOST started watching this TV show called Lie To Me this season; if I didn’t have so much recorded but unwatched, I might have. Since it’s been renewed, i still may. The premise is that the “world’s leading deception expert who studies facial expressions and involuntary body language to discover not only if someone is lying, but why.”
Some people are just lousy liars and even a layperson can tell. But think of the Bernie Madoffs or other seemingly responsible people; they lied through their teeth daily but almost no one caught on until it was too late.
The singular thing I learned from Ronald Reagan was “trust but verify”.
I used to be lied to in relationships, which makes finding someone who is pretty much incapable of telling a lie a pretty sweet deal.
So how do you think your lie-detector radar is?
