Good Post.

My voting station is a local elementary school and, while standing in an unusually long midterm election line, I had the opportunity to read the stuff on their walls. There were a multitude of signs, each with a highlighted inspirational word and a definition to go along.

One sign said “With the proper ATTITUDE, anyone can win.” It's adjacent neighbor said “Anyone can WIN if the rules apply equally.” These seemed somewhat contradictory. When rules are equal, winners win and losers lose. Only when rules are unequally applied can everyone win. And then, what's the point?

I also saw that “LOYALTY means keeping ones commitments.” I always considered that to be more to do with integrity.

I refrained from comment at the time, but it is rather a sad thing that our schools are so badly run.

—With the proper ATTITUDE, anyone can win.
Stand up, make a difference, engage

—Anyone can WIN if the rules apply equally.
Anyone can Win at something, if you apply those gifts within you

—LOYALTY means keeping ones commitments.
If this one requires defining, they are already in trouble...
