To
kind of set the flavor of this article, I was going to start off with a
real intelligent quote about integrity from a famous person you would
all recognize. So, I went to one of those “smart quotes from famous
people” web sites to find one. Man, there are a lot of very famous
people saying some very intelligent statements about "integrity".
I was really taken back. Who am I to talk on a subject that so many
famous politicians, actors, society types from many different fields
have taken time out of there busy lives and commented on this subject?
Then, as I read what these very high profile, very much in the News people said, I looked down to read the name of who said it. Time
and time again I was shocked! These are people that it has been proven
in their lives publicly and in court do not have an ounce of integrity.
The
only reason I don't give you a list of what they said and, alongside of
the statement, public proof of what I am saying is that they do
have attorneys. In other words, they have about as much integrity as a
good lawyer can buy them. This is the civilization we live in. You put
your dollar in the machine, push the button, a can of integrity drops
down, rolls out the bottom and you pop the top. When you’re done no one
expects you to dispose of the can properly, because we know all
the integrity you had was in that can, and now that's gone!
