Well, to be honest with you… : vimarsana.com

A team of researchers dropped 17,000 wallets in banks, theaters, museums, hotels and post offices in 355 cities across 40 different countries to see what people might do. Results indicate people in Switzerland were the most honest in returning the wallets. Canada didn t make the top tier, but I will point out that none of the seven cities surveyed were in Saskatchewan. I m sure it would have made a difference, right? 
People say honesty is one of the most desired qualities they seek in a partner, friend or colleague, yet we ve become so cynical we don t seem to expect it any longer. At the very least we have created a sliding scale on which we place statements and rationalize lies to suggest one isn t as bad as another. To further distance ourselves from confronting lying, we have created alternate vocabulary for it and then invoke explanations like misinformation, embellishment or someone simply being economical with the truth. Regardless of how we might want to downplay the consequences, truth matters.
