      Lying to protect ones belief in one's rights.  Do we have a politician
   in our midsts? :)

Good point....  What's become of honesty and personal responsibility? 

Try this technique the next time you feel threatened by the disclosure 
of personal information.  Look the person straight in the eye and say:

     "I do not want to disclose any personal information."

I don't know about you, but I've always had a great deal of respect 
for people that can look you in the eye and tell you the plain truth.
