"Defeatism did not stop Leonidas and his spartans."

Do we really want to emulate Leonidas? IIRC all of Leonidas' guys died at Thermopylae. We might as well invoke the Charge of the Light Brigade.

Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Let's please use the Katharine Harris fiasco as a lesson for the future instead of blindly riding into the jaws of death.

Ed, I'll see you one Lord Tennyson and raise you one Frank Sinatra.........

KATHERINE'S WAY

And now, the end is near
And so she'll face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

She's had a calendar that's full
She travels each and every highway
And more, much more than this
She does it OUR way

Mistakes? She's had a few
But then again, there's always tension
She does what she has to do
And sees it through without exemption

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When she bit off more than she could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
She ate it up and spit it out
She faced it all and she stood tall
And she does it OUR way

For what is a woman? What has she got?
If not herself - then she has naught
To say the things she truly feels
And not the word of one who kneels
Let the record show she takes the blows
And does it OUR way!
