As a FRiend, I would respectfully suggest you take the same tack, as we need you healthy as long as possible, and your way will wear you out, and unnecesarily so.

Friends let their friends pick their own battles, if you don't have the stomach for it, stand aside.

...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
