Tha hypocrisy may even be valid evidence of their untrustworthiness.<BR/><BR/>Rats smell. If you find a rat that has doused itself with the bad cologne of hypocrisy, not only do you know you have a rat, but also that it is trying to hide itself from you.Jerub-Baalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17011380665828984398noreply@blogger.com
