"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you know me well - really well, you will know that I like people who stand up. Egos, self-aggrandizement and Fb braggers are a total turn off. Thank you to my friends who posted some neat quotes. I do love reminders. But the ones above are favs of mine.
"That government is best which governs least;" and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which I also believe,—"That government is best which governs not at all;" and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient."
— Thoreau, Civil Disobedience
Only when we all become self-leaders will we even have a chance to truly change things. Until then, the bullies, those who seize powers and steal government money will rule. Have things really changed over time? Really?
Consider your dome.
