Well, I suppose Misada was worth it too... but we ain't there yet.

Having been to Masada, I can say it was worth it. I am not the patron saint of lost causes or suicidal missions. But to Armistead, (who I quoted) freedom was worth fighting for or dying for.

I like winning a whole lot more than losing (I seem to lose a lot more than I win), but there must be those intangible things that guide our lives that we say yes, this is worth the fight no matter the cause.
