We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.
--Samuel JohnsonThis is a scary thought. Are we all prone to deception?

call me the mistrustful sort, but i dont believe everyone..... im a bit of a skeptic, prolly too much of one. i guess either way we are prone to deception :P
I think whenever there is a hierarchy, there will probably be deception as people struggle to get higher up the food chain. that is why we need to switch to a matriarchy =].
what a fascinating idea.
i think almost everyone is prone to deception. lies are usually designed to make their victims comfortable - at least for a time
i suppose the reciprocal statement would be that we tend to lie to those we don't know because they don't yet know us
would that be true?
