I can see where you're coming from that integrity is only theoretical until it's tested by that which can corrupt..

Although, personally I'm not really interested in proving my ideals are equitable or a commodity to anyone. If power and influence are bestowed upon one or are the will of the people then so be it, if power is sought out by an individual with politically motivated ambitions it's unlikely I will ever believe they have integrity.. Politics aren't my thing and I mostly distrust anyone that fancies themselves as someone that thinks they are fit to speak for me, much less any collective voice..

Those are the tip touchers, they can toil away for votes and a life of people pleasing in the open and more than just the tip behind closed doors..

I agree the rest of the internet has become quite dull, and I'm glad to be here to steer my steem ship.

I'll add umlungu to my ever growing vocabulary for white dude feel free to call my honkey or whatever as well..

I love the concept of Ubuntu, I still find it amazing that the commonality between nearly every ideology is an interpretation of the golden rule, yet it's the very morality that evades us and thus feeds the illusion of separation.
