  • By Selwyn Duke If you want to know why lies seem increasingly common, it’s because we persecute people for honesty. A good example is the recent statements tennis star Serena Williams made about the Steubenville rape case. Commenting on the matter in a Rolling Stone interview, the Wimbledon champion opined: Do you think it was…
