You are correct.
I appreciated Frank's Town Hall comments when he was responding to a woman who said that she could never trust government again. His response was along the lines of, " Who told you to trust government. You should never trust government."
Good comments
I also understand that sometimes a lie may be required. As is 1942 Germany, " Are you hiding any Jews in your house?" Sometimes protecting the defenseless is a higher requirement. But protecting ones one butt should never be an acceptable reason to tolerate a lie.
