Do we expect people to lie to us?

I think that we expect people to lie to us in order for us to not face reality. In order for us to not hear the truth, expecting other people to lie to us in order to not get our feelings hurt. We have to hide the truth with a lie, either we do the lying or the lying is being done to us. Everyone does it, if we were to live in a world where there would be no lies we would all be considered jerks, not caring for peoples feelings. We would be inhumane because we would not feel sympathy or compassion for the people we are saying the lies, the world would be chaotic, we would be distraught with such truth. But although we all want truth, and want our feelings being considered to we really want the truth or do we want to blind ourselves with lies?

Against supreme court's decision on corporations

I am against the decision that the supreme court made on corporations. I think that it is just unfair what they are doing, giving the free speech principle to them when they are not even people just because they have way more money than an individual. By allowing corporate money to influence or flood politics would corrupt democracy. By this all they are doing is making the speech of corporations greater than that of an individual. What this is also doing is creating or sort of reshaping the way elections were conducted, creating a country of democracy into a country of hypocrites. They should ban political spending on corporations.
