Most admired

Cary Grant was a famous actor and was considered worldly, sophisticated, debonair and a dashing sex symbol. He once remarked that everyone wants to be Cary Grant….I want to be Cary Grant. I bring this up because there is a company that rates well known people by how trustworthy they are and the top ten on the list are actors. This is a sad commentary on today’s culture when a fictitious person is considered more trustworthy than an actual person. It reminds of people who think that soap operas are real and send gifts to the characters portrayed in the show. This company is in the news because Brian Williams was number 28th on the list and after the lie he told on national TV he dropped to 865th. There is one group of people, that lying does not seem to adversely affect and that is, politicians, which is also sad. We don’t seem to mind when they lie because we expect them to lie and then we vote for them.
