    I once gave tender to a guy with a card board sign, next to the road, asking for money. The sign said, I need money for alcohol. I laughed and thought that was honest enough to give a handout. Is that lawful tender ? probably not.

    Without honesty, all of the world's wealth diminishes, making a loaf of bread invisible and non-attainable. Economic dishonesty is exemplified by the number of loaves available in Cuba and Venezuela.
