Hi Foxlette,

<<But one thing just piqued my interest.. " Actions speak louder than words".. Well they do.. But:

"Words are NOT cheap>>

As I agreed, in the above statement.. But my contention is why not go the other 30-40% to make the words "fit the action"..For example. Why say something outrageous and do the opposite.. Since in many cases, that is the only impression, especially initial ones, one can get..

How does a person define integrity? commonly through written or verbal expression from my experience.

To turn around that old saying? "Do I as do, Not as I say" is not for me... I TRY "To Do as I say".. It just muddies the water in all relationships, from individual to societal, if one does not.. IMO keeping everyone guessing and off-balance by our primary form of communication does not help in the long run.
