Should we laugh or cry?

I do not know why the title must be "The Lying Ape". Apes may have some lying behaviors, but this is really a human phenomenon. The book tells the truth, there is lot of lying going on all the time. Business is full of lies, and similarly politics. And everyday life. How we manage with all this lying? We are actually quite trusting to each others which makes lying possible. The book offers a lot of amusing examples of lying - and not so amusing. When a lie starts a war, it is a catastrophe. This is a rather entertaining book, but will get one shivering. How about me? How much I lie?
