Perhaps it's time to demand testing of all talking heads and bloviators, as well as candidates for high office, to take a "TOO STOOPID TO SERVE" test.
Criminals and sociopaths are clever enough to figure that the "I can't get into someone's mind" meme can neutralize any crime.
But more to the point...
A casual study of the word "lie" in any language will always reveal that:
THE MOST COMMON AND EFFECTIVE LIE AMONG ALL CRIMINALS IS THE LIE BY OMISSION!
Just watch the TV series "COPS" a few times and you'll see the comically obvious "masters" at it.
Or just watch CSPAN.
I quit watching “Cops” years ago when it started becoming difficult to tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys.”
