Pay My Legal Fund; Then I’ll Search for Stacy
Have you seen the news today?
Clearly, the priorities of this fund are off the mark. Pam Bosco says it best, “”His best defense is to find Stacy. Let’s put that as a priority, Drew.”
Facts About Lying
I found an interesting article today from the University of Massachusetts for those of you who are interested in deception facts.
It says:
- Sixty percent of people lied during a 10 minute conversation.
- The average person told two or three lies in that 10 minutes.
- The people in the study were surprised that they lied so much!
- Men and women lie about the same amount. They just lie about different things.
- Women most often lie to make others feel better.
- Men most often lie to make themselves feel better.
How many lies are told per day to the average person then?
I suggest it is best not to think about it!
The Ultimate Betrayal Unraveled
Earlier this week, I wrote a post titled The Ultimate Betrayal? If you aren’t familiar with this story, click on the link above to catch up.
Anne Darwin has now confessed that her presumed-to-be dead husband, John, was actually living in her home for the past several years.
She further identified that John talked to her about faking his death before he did it as a way to solve financial problems.
Read moreI find it amazing the lengths people will go through when money is at stake. Money—the lack of it or the desire to have it—can make people do crazy things.
Did you know faking one’s death is known as pseudocide?
As the video above questions, John Darwin has yet to say why he chose to come back from the dead.
News also surfaced yesterday that Rick Mims sold his story about Drew Peterson to the National Enquirer. Rick says that he needs the money to pay his cell phone bills that were upwards of four-hundred dollars. The rest, says Mims, will be donated to a fund in Stacy Peterson’s name. I did not see Mims say this. I’ve only heard what he said through a second source.
Religion, Politics and Emotion
Many readers ask me to discuss political figures, people of faith, and yes, sometimes, even psychics, and identify the truth-tellers among them. And for those of you who have asked, you know it is something I don’t do.
Why is that, you wonder?
Politics and religion are emotionally based beliefs, as are beliefs in psychics.
In emotional situations, people tend to see only what they want to see. When the truth presents itself and it is contrary to a belief system, people will try to find justifications to explain why the “truth” isn’t the truth. They will say there is a misunderstanding, that what you stated isn’t what that person meant, that you are reading too much into it, that you are seeing it incorrectly. Many times insults start to fly when an agreement isn’t reached.
I’ve learned this the hard way, thank you very much!
So instead of helping people see the truth, I suspect most often, I will simply serve as (a) a source to confirm one’s own belief, or (b) a source of frustration, and hence, potentially the target of peoples’ emotions when I don’t agree with them.
Forgive me, but I see no justification for doing that.
I am almost certain that everyone reading this already holds a strong opinion on each of these subjects, and my pointing out truth-tellers will have little to no effect on those beliefs.
If you believe in God or a god, are strongly affiliated with one political party over another, or want to trust a psychic, then that is good enough for me!
Joran Van der Sloot Released Again
News just came out that Joran Van der Sloot has been ordered released from jail, again.
This case seems to be going in circles, endlessly.
“Prosecutors have said they will announce by the end of the year whether they will try the suspects in the case.” (CNN)
I guess we just have to wait and see.
Read what I wrote about Joran Van der Sloot back in February 2006 here.
