[quote=Anonymous]I found myself thinking about this article today:  
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/01/skin-care-secret-wealth/579337/

It basically talks about female celebrities lie and say that they have great skin because they "drink a lot of water and get a lot of sleep" when in reality they have plastic surgery and Botox and expensive skin resurfacing treatments.  The author says that the lying is actually harmful because it encourages other people to feel like losers when they drink so much water they're going to float away and they still don't look like Jennifer Aniston does with her regime of drinking water and applying Aveeno skin lotion from the drugstore.  
The celebs found the side door, the easy way out -- and then lied about it.

Realized that you can only follow 'the blessing of a skinned knee' and let your kids learn responsibility by getting a bad grade when you can afford someone to 'clean up' your kids transcript like Rick Singer did for these wealthy people.

I believed the American dream, pull yourself up by your bootstraps lie -- that Ben Carson's mother took him to the library and that's why he became a world famous neurosurgeon.  But it appears that for every Ben Carson there's a lot more shysters out there who said 'forget about the library, let's just lie and pretend she rows crew.'

It's the equivalent of having your face laser resurfaced and pretending you got great skin from drinking water. [/quote]
