I agree with you. Might doesn't make right and America is indeed mighty. It is, however, a government of laws rather than of men. It is a government based on principles, and its people are free to debate them as much as they want. Indecision and uncertainty has probably gotten us into more evil than decisiveness and resolve because we have those principles. I tell kids: Do your own thinking. Do your own thinking. Do your own thinking.

<<<And what I wanted to get at is that we can never be sure we are doing the "Right" thing, in anything. Either personally, or as a Nation. All we can do is take the facts we have, and make the best decision we can. And then carry it out! To the end! Without dithering! >>> Facinating What would we be doing today,what would the market level be, if Gore has been elected, and North Korea had started another run at nuclear weapons a year ago instead of recently.? We might be faced with a " Gore War" and the same tough decisions to make would turn his hair grey.' And this is no kind of a huddle to have before trying to beat Notre Dame , or before starting a war : Quarterback: " Coach, I didn't sleep a wink last night just worrying, yu, know And my throwing arm is still sore from that big hit three weeks ago, but I'll give a try- Might last 3 quarters before I collapse. Coach " Way ta Ziggy, good attitude -just remember to score a lotta points in the first quarter- they won by 40 points last week against Michigan" Coach " Where is the running back? Oh, I see him over talking to the cheerleaders as usual Well we do encourage social interaction at good old State U. I'll just wait until he has time to join us. Lets continue here My wife thought we could do better if I made some changes in the lineup, so ---Charlie, I'm putting you in charge of defense and just remember to work hard as they outweigh us 340 to 250 on average so you'll have to grow some smarts in your thick skull real quick" " But enough of the pep talks Are we ready? Lets go getem" Sig ( something tells me I don't wanna see this game)(G)
