Ah! Well, when I said naughty, I included all of us, remember (the reference to, "don't we all")? I am just as guilty - I'm not leaving myself out.

Anyway, to the point of the matter that started this. I think it would be very hard to be a judge as you cannot let your emotions rule your decisions. I think everyone is capable of lying and exaggerating when it comes down to survival. And also when much is at stake, or ego has been wounded. It brings to mind a case we had here in our school district with a woman who sued the principal for sexual harassment. Actually, she had been passed over for vice principal by the sheer fact that she was not good at it. But she considered it a sexual thing and made up accusations against the principal. Thankfully, she did not prevail and the principal is still there going strong while she remains the hated exVP. Some things aren't worth it for pride's sake only.
