@Lindy @LadyZurk
I'm surprised you answered "no" on the first question.
IMO, Trump lacked integrity. He's an overt liar. But a vast portion (almost 1/2) of the society voted for him. They constructed a sufficient belief system to look past his lies and lack of integrity in order to follow and support him.
Am I thinking this through correctly?
@jurban too many variables. I trust x even though I know sometimes they forget to put _whatever_ where it goes. I know Y will do said task, but in their own time, not when they said they would.
@LadyZurk
So, timing is everything?
My point: Assessing integrity is used to determine if someone will act in a trustable manner. They will respect the Means as well as the Ends.
If a drug cartel kills a friend because they, the drug cartel, lack integrity, but eventually come around and recognizes their wrongful action, my friend is still dead. I would have been a fool to assume that they had integrity when they were deciding on killing my friend. (BTW, no friends were harmed :-)
@jurban @LadyZurk absolutely not.
