Are lies ok?

It’s not that we “expect” people to lie to us but if it’s reasonable than I think it’s ok, not all the time and about everything. For example, when some women get pregnant and start to show they don’t want to be told they look big and fat they want to be told that they look gorgeous and doesn’t look like a fat cow. Men would be in big trouble if no one lied in the world. Women rely on their man for those little things they say about us looking beautiful even when we aren’t or feel don’t. Little white lies like that I think are okay other than that I grew up not being able to lie. My mom was very smart and up to date on everything. If she asked me a question about something that meant she already knew the answer.My dad always says " Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"

Corporate Spending

Money and politics are everywhere, all around us. Having corporations that have a lot of money means a big benefit for themselves. If politics didn't involve “money” than people would be left confused. Having freedom of speech gives them an advantage since they have the same rights individuals. The decision being 5/4 left people and corporations wondering but that still won’t let it bother them too much. Giving them a limit, however, may lead to many political arguments.

I understand that corporations are treated as “individuals” but how can they when they have so many people pushing and running out small/family owned businesses because they have more money and seem to have more trends going than those small businesses. Having money always gives those who have it the bigger advantage. It’s not right.
