Do-gooders Can Be No Good

Do-gooders can become the worst cheats
Study: Sense of moral superiority might lead to rationalizing bad behavior

Morally upstanding people are the do-gooders of society, right?
Actually, a new study finds that a sense of moral superiority can lead to
unethical acts, such as cheating. In fact, some of the best do-gooders can
become the worst cheats.

Stop us if this sounds familiar.


No, no, go ahead. Keep going, but when are you going to get to those do-gooders in Washington, DC that keep telling us they have our best interests at heart?

Don't you dare tell me that Reid and Pelosi might bend the truth just to save us from ourselves.
