I like to believe we all want a safer, more secure world. We all want what we understand to be the best aspects of American life to not only continue, but prosper and spread. We all want the freedoms we treasure. I think both the conservatives and the liberals could agree to this. You know something of me, and my problem is with either side claiming some kind of "certainty" about right and wrong. I have seen such certainties misused from time to time, and good people get hurt because of it and bad people not have to pay for their wrongdoings. Principles are wonderful things, but they need to be retested and recalibrated every once in a while, in my view. The world changes around us and ends justifying the means is a slippery slope. The best boss I ever had used to remind all of us fervent young prosecutors to "step back every once in a while and listen to what you are saying"....good advice. Best to you in the new year...
