There seems to ho a fatal tendency theae days tor everyone to
blame everyone (or someone)
else tor all the things that are
wrong But perhapa each person
has boon ptaytag s Ngcer pert

around aa! If eo, how ran thorn
be a real change until there are
individuals who take personnl
respon*iblllty for lettlnc a change
rosso In their own lives?
This, to me. Is Integrity -
taking a rood look at our own personal ronttibntlon to the world we
live tn, and lettlre* the quality of
