RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: CHEAP NAMES

Without evidence and/or hesitation, we label ourselves and others with cheap names... "Racist".. "Poor", "Rich", "Nigger"... "Coward". Much like what it sounds like, a cheap name is label given to someone or something to undermine its worth. A name given with secondary value results in secondhand treatment from family, peers, and competitors... "Snitch!".. the label of a snitch is a lifetime scar. Whether on a school yard (playgrounds) or the boardrooms on Wall Street, the label of a cheap name results in isolation. Your reputation is your name.. Your reputation is the rank(ing) in which you stand in society.
