Good point.

And the hypocrisy issue is stupid, anyway. The only people (apart from Jesus) not guilty of moral hypocrisy are those admitted moral reprobates who happily confess to having no moral code whatsoever. (Note that Bill Clinton was NOT honest enough to admit this; thus he is a moral hypocrite as well.)

I say: Lying is bad. People should not lie.

And yet-- I lie.

Am I a hypocrite?

Yes, because I am a flawed human being. But what is the alternative? I cannot give up lying, being a flawed human being. So to avoid being a hypocrite, I'd have to give up having a code against lying.
