That is what I call dishonorable behavior.

America seems to have put everything that is capitalistic on top of the heap and it just relentlessly crushes everything else underneath it and being honorable is one of a long list of causalities.

What I mean is that honoring our social agreement and system is important to the system and our health. Dishonorable actions are a bad infection on their own and we can see how it makes the contagion worse.
