Dishonesty comes in many shapes and sizes. Of course, some people lie in error, in which they wholeheartedly believe their words when they’re spoken. Others tell bold-faced lies, knowing full well that they’re being deceitful. And still other people tell white lies, hoping to protect someone (often themselves) from the truth. Yet even though some of these folks may be well intentioned, it’s all lying just the same. How do you identify a lie? As a general rule of thumb, if your ears hear one thing and your eyes see another, use your brain — because something is obviously wrong. Here are some common forms of dishonesty that masquerade as acceptable behavior:

Misrepresentation. Distorting facts to consciously mislead or create a false impression. Spinning the truth, presenting opinion as fact, and using revisionist thinking or euphemisms to masquerade the truth are all forms of misrepresentation.

Omission. Leaving out key information to intentionally deceive someone. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Half the truth is often a great lie.”

Fabrication. Deliberately inventing an untruth or spreading a falsehood such as gossip or a rumor.

Exaggeration. Stretching the truth to give a more favorable impression.

Denial. Refusing to acknowledge the truth or to accept responsibility for a mistake or falsehood that was made.

Lack of transparency. Withholding information knowing that full disclosure will have negative consequences.

Redirection. Deflecting blame to another person to prevent personal embarrassment or responsibility.

The entire clan are being enriched by taxpayers money. This includes chamber, lodging, news as the taxpayers money is paying for their club. Even if the city isn’t handing them the money they receive it through the middle man paying them. Sedona City council need a reality check. they have enabled special interests to be funded. The businesses inside the city footprint are the ones collecting the taxes not a regional chamber,

John McCain has had a ranch in Cornville for YEARS – (probably way before your time). so wise up. Most recently he was here for his daughter’s wedding. (not because of your idiotic chamber of comedy of errors or trip adviser. Your mouth overfloweth with nonsense.)

So what? and who’s to say that without you and your crappy regional chamber of corruption Sedona wouldn’t be among the top ten or maybe top five preferred destinations? You’ve no proof that you contributed anything in Sedona except more day-trippers by those staying in resorts outside Sedona city limits who do not contribute to either city sales or bed taxes. Toot your horn to those benefiting from Sedona taxes as you thumb your noses at the honorable who refuse to acquiesce to becoming a chamber member to be acknowledged at the phony visitors center.

And somewhere along the line was it you who said the reason we don’t have city property taxes is because of the chamber of commerce? Really? How utterly stupid and uninformed you are. When Sedona incorporated a stipulation was included there would be NO Sedona City Property taxes. And if the subject were to be revisited it would require the vote of the residents (City of Sedona – City Limits) for approval.

Put a sock in your mouth or stuff it with your turkey leftovers or maybe some Progresso Soup.

I love it ,NO good news on Sedona Eye….
