Thank you Callisto.

No, thank you DoughtyOne! You reminded me of what heart knows to be true at a time when I had let my mind rule my heart. Actions without thought are one of the problems that has pushed our country to the precipice it is at now. I won't falter again any time soon. In the words of Thomas Jeffeson, 1st Inaugural Address, 1801:
"The essential principles of our Government... form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety."
