I agree completely with what you said. There's one more thing that might be taken into consideration, and that is the ideal of contemporary journalists that it is their goal to "change the world". The Pulitzer Prize would be the physical evidence of that, but its importance would be that he had met the goals of the idealist. My hope is he returns safe and wiser.

Whew. Sure glad it's not 1776 and you're not the wife of one of our founding fathers. Lord knows there were lots of "idealists" back then.

The concepts our founding fathers labored under was a far cry from the individualist, selfish, and often misguided self-importance of many of today's "government school", liberal-indoctrinated graduates.
