Have to question your Integrity, and mine, if your statement that there is " no such thing as a minor lapse of Integrity" is fact as you stated 3 times. Years ago during the grilling of Oliver North he was asked by a senator where he learned to lie. I was down for a while with achillies tendon surgery so I watched some of the TV coverage of the hearings. He was asked if it was in school, his parents or did the Marines teach him. I asked myself where I learned to lie. We all have done it. Yes, likely even you. You learn it at a young age from parents, grandparents, friend , just about everyone.
Have you ever put anything under a childs pillow, in a stocking hung on the mantle, or in a basket. If you have you likely lied about it to a child. Is it "minor". Some would say yes. While I'm not saying it is the same as what Zimmerman lied about, I am saying that you can have the view that it is black and white and we are all liars with no Integrity or there are instances that you feel a lie is harmless and maybe even serve a greater good.
His greater good was selfserving but at the time it likely seemed Minor in the scope of things. Again, not saying it was right, but it does not, in my opinion, make every other thing he has said false. Just like I hope my perpetrating the childhood myths did not condemn me to a life without integrity and unable to ever be believed

Both Oliver North and Mr. Zimmerman stood in front of a judge and lied. I have no use for Mr. North because he took an oath and his promotion certificate stated, "imposing special trust and confidence"......he broke both. You already know my feelings about Mr. Zimmerman's credibility.
