"Be always sure you’re right—then go ahead!” -- Davy Crockett
"We are clearly not short on sickness,and with a very small amount of introspection we will see we are also not short on cure. In fact, the one thing that I feel absolutely certain of today is that we will always have exactly as much right in ourselves as we need in order to neutralize the wrong - but we keep coming up short on the nominal human decency it takes to bring the two together. Something stops us, and it is usually notoriety. Name-making. Cheapness. The anonymous right always eschewed for the noteworthy wrong. That sort of virus isn't cultivated on Capitol Hill, and it doesn't come with a parenthetical "R" or "D." It is us, it is human, and it is entirely fixable, because the only thing it takes to fix it is a decision." -- The Dipso Chronicles: On Responsibility
