Something thought to be nonexistent throughout America these days still survives in me: faith in humanity. No, this isn't like having faith that Santa Claus is real. I have faith in the genuine good in people.
First off, everyone has the potential to be honest to each other. White lies are okay, but ones that harm other people, like scams, take advantage of our trust. Even withholding the truth may be harmful to someone. (When it comes to the "does this make my butt look big" question, however, just pretend to play a game on your cell phone and refrain from giving an answer.) In fact, the lack of truth in advertising has made me believe that a new system should be experimented with. Rather than exaggerating the positive aspects of a product and painting the ad with bright colors and fine print, advertisers should list pros and cons of their product and that of a competitor's, and then try to give reasons why their pros outweigh the competitor's pros. Just for once, let people know what's actually going on and cut out all the bullshit. It saves you money and saves us time.
