RANDOM SHOTSSEVEN DEADLY SINSThere is an old joke: How can you tell when a politician is lying? What are the Seven Deadly Sins? According to the standard list they are: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth which are contrary to the seven capital virtues. The seven capital virtues, also known as seven lively virtues, contrary or remedial virtues, are those opposite to the seven deadly sins. Looks like we have perfected the lying tongue.
