GUEST EDITORIAL THE INVENTION OF LYING? by Sal Giarratani I recently viewed a movie called “The Invention of Lying.” The premise of the movie was what happens in a world without lying when you discover how to lie ef- fectively. It also showed how lying can sometimes be better than telling the actual truth. At one point in the movie, an adult son visits his mom in the nursing home but the nursing home in this world is called “A Sad Place A fundraiser for Republican Candidate for Governor Charlie Baker and Republican for Hopeless Old People.” At another point in the movie, Candidate for Lt. Governor, Richard Tisei was held recently at Lucia’s Ristorante in a guy asked a girl if she would go out with him again Winchester, Massachusetts.
