This applies even to the future King of England. Apparently, Prince William did not see “Braveheart”, or he may have known that in [...]

Do All Kids Lie?

Sean McMaster — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:07:09 +0000

We got into a discussion about Lance Armstrong Monday during the Sean & Richie Show, and of course the topic of lying came up. Richie is concerned that the kids today don’t have anyone to look up to, because everyone is lying and cheating – so how can we teach our kids not to lie when it’s so common in the world? And do all kids lie? How do we teach our kids to be honest – or do we actually want them to learn how to be good liars?

An election is the ultimate celebration of democracy. However if you live in South Carolina or Kentucky, booze probably isn’t going to be part of your November 6 revelry.
