But there are lots of folk who do not think and integrate ideas as fast as I do or as creatively as I do...and there is always someone to jump into the fray to say LIAR and label it as something that does not need to be understood or can be dismissed. I notice that usage a great deal on the internet to discredit or blame...and on the news too...That form of LIAR is so derogatory and insipid. .-= Patricia´s last blog ..<a href="http://patriciaswisdom.com/2010/02/questions-of-practice/" rel="nofollow">Questions of Practice</a> =-.

You've hit on the head one of the most annoying things out there. A long time ago I used to peruse Craigslist Rants and Raves section and suddenly realized how degrading and negative all of the stuff there truly was. I think most of these words started over there.
