Would it surprise you to learn that government officials, doctors, businesses, and reporters are lying to you? Probably not. They do it for profit, control, votes, or to be more important. With this book you'll start to see through their lies. In fact, learning the truth covered in Lie # 1 will save you ten times the price of this whole package.

Lies

We are probably lied to almost every day. Sometimes we are very aware of the lie, like when a politician says "no new taxes". However, there are many more subtle lies that aren't so easily spotted. Here are some of those.

Bigger Is Always Cheaper

This used to be true. "Family" or "institutional" size cans, jars and packages of food should cost less per ounce. Unfortunately, some retailers have recently been overpricing large items, probably because they know that many will assume they are the better buy without doing the math. Always take a look at the price per ounce or pound.

News Reporting Can Be Objective

There are an unlimited number of potential "stories," but limited time or paper. Should a reporter cover the building of a new school, or the opening of a new clothing store, or the famine in some African country? Even when every fact is correct, choosing to cover one story over another reveals a bias, as does choosing how to cover it. Isn't it better to simply understand what those biases are than to pretend that news can be objective?

Alternative Medicines Are Dangerous

They are dangerous compared to what? Doctors have thousand dying every year on the operating table and no one says a thing. But if just one person dies from after using an herb or alternative treatment - even if thousands have been saved by it - there are calls for it to be banned. Any treatment has its risks, but let's be fair in our comparisons.

Statistics Are Always Objective

The "objectivity" of statistics is all in how they are used. Suppose an oil company's profit on assets rises from 4% one year to 8% the next. Did profits rise by 4% or 100%? It depends on who's counting. Rising 4% to an 8% profit might still put them below the profit levels of most businesses, as they might honestly point out. But then they did make a 100% more money, a reporter might note, in order to whip up an anti-oil company "story".

If This Law Saves One Life It's Worth It

We can each rightfully put an unlimited value on our own lives. Laws and actions to save other lives, however, have to take into account the cost. We could save 45,000 lives by strictly limiting highway speeds to 20 miles per hour, but that is too high a price for us. The proper question perhaps, is how much it is actually worth to us to save a life. Approached in this honest way, more lives will be saved, because regulations will be aimed at maximum efficiency in saving lives.
