	To be honest, I suspect that much of the problem lies in people deciding
to uphold the honorable ideals of the SCA and then, much later, finding
out how tough that can be.
	It's easy to be honorable when it's to your advantage and when people
are looking. It's not so simple when your honor will cost you heavily,
and especially when (you think) no one would know if you were
dishonorable.

	That's the true measure of honor: If you're honorable even when no one
else would know or care.
