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.

I got your point about Armistead. I was just bein'...well...Corin. You'll catch on. ;-)

We're not done here in Virginia by any means. We certainly did our part to keep Nancy out of the Speaker's chair (we lost no congresscritters).

We need some recovery time. But not for long.

All 140 seats in our General Assembly are up again in...363 days...
