Questions we face can't be delegated to opinions of people we only know about by reference. Sometimes we must step back to reflect on who we are, where we are, and who and where we want to be. No surrogate for your vested interest exists at times like this. Don't let promises of those hungry for support to control your decisions with empty promises and empty threats. Don't allow anyone to distort the reality you see. The end does not justify the means. What do you win, if you lose who you are?
