I just got tired of feeling like the odd man out, the one person constantly saying no to everything (mostly frivolous spending). It just wore me out. I think it’s human nature to want to come to get along with others, I don’t think it’s reflective of one party or another.

Thanks. You must have been persona non-grata on the board, but I bet the taxpayers among your constituents appreciated you.

Standing on principle will put you in the loner position in any organization you want to name: politics, religion, academia, recreation, education, science. The only place such a principled attitude cannot be easily overridden is in engineering, where proven calculations sustain a solid conclusion.

That's why good engineers make poor politicians, and successful politicians make such poor engineers. Think of Carter.
