“Integrity is living by what you think is right. Not what you can get away with, not what everyone else is doing. For the most part, it’s not illegal to sell stuff to dumb people who don’t know any better. In only a handful of cases is breaking your word a crime. In fact, in America, lying—even egregiously so—is protected by the First Amendment. But just because we can doesn’t mean we should.”
