There are *some* other people out here who believe in honesty & personal integrity as a way of life. Even when we do mess up, we don't bleat about how other people do it & try to justify how something wrong is really alright. Admit we were wrong & take our lumps. Shucks, I can even remember a time when colleges & universities took the time to teach their students enough philosophy & ethics to understand something like the Dartmouth Honor System.
