i wish there was too. All we can do is try to be the best example that we can be, and when we find one, weed them out.

And truly, this is what the whole ethics issue comes down to - a personal choice to do what you KNOW is right, irregardless. There will always be unethical people but, as stated above, this doesn't mean the issue should be swept under the table, it simply means that each and every one of us must guard ourselves from 'slipping' into gray areas.

People who choose to behave unethically will not prosper for long. Plain and simple.

Right on, Kimberly!

In whatever I do, I do it fairly and would never think of screwing someone else over. It's just not in my nature.

I've been screwed over by people so many times, it's difficult to keep a count. I just don't see how anyone can do that to someone, not to mention shoddy work. When it comes to that, how can anyone be proud of work that is less than their best? It's beyond me.

Work hard, be proud and play fair. That's what I live by

I"ve learned that if someone screws you over, you learn from it, get over it, and move on. Can't let it drag you down!
