In a Dateline segment on Tuesday, they establish that a third of the
population in the US will lie or cheat when presented with the
opportunity, that another third will be influenced by the situation with
about half of them deciding to cheat in the particular situation.
So the population as a whole has a 50% chance of being honourable when
given a free choice. This may be why consultants get a bad rap. Its just
the half who are predisposed to it creating a bad image!
