I think I’m a pretty good person. I don’t steal. I don’t cut in line. I pick up after my dog. I open the door for ladies. I don’t talk loudly in movie theaters. I work hard. I’ve never cheated on my wife. I try to be polite. I put my shopping cart back, I don’t litter, and I pay my taxes.
All in all, I sound like a pretty good guy. But here’s the thing….
