RE: frustration with lack of honesty
There was a great moment in "The Simpsons" where Bart was asking Homer's advice about what to do if he doesn't know when to laugh during a movie because he can't see the screen because the kid in front of him was too tall (or something like that)
Homer told him to watch the other children very carefully and laugh when they laugh, and everything will be ok.
I found this funny, sad, and a great relief at the same time. Most kids do grow up feeling like that don't know as much as they should know, and that they couldn't possibly understand eveything, and that they are bad because of it...Most but not all kids.
See the connection? I feel this way every time I have to buy a big ticket item at a store. Garenteed that the salespeople will say anything they think you want to hear, no matter how outrageous. ((shrug)) It's just the accepted way it is.
