Words to remember

-Theodore Roosevelt
Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
-Epictetus
I have too much compassion to be a conservative and too much sense to be a liberal.
-Stephen Millich
The fetters imposed on liberty at home have ever been forged out of the weapons provided for defence against real, pretended, or imaginary dangers from abroad.
-James Madison
4th US president (1751 - 1836)
...being tough doesn’t require being stupid. It’s totally optional.
-Scott Adams
cartoonist and satirist
Furious activity is no substitute for understanding.

If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way.
