Again an angry late-night post...

Today I was told that I was acting out of my place, asking questions that shouldn't be asked and doing things that were assuming that I was already something I am not.

The day I stop asking difficult and 'inappropriate' questions is the day I die. You can batter me, bruise me, but no matter what I will prevail when it comes to the expression of my opinion and my search for the truth about things. I believe that I can do good for people by asking hard questions of people. The journalist in me is always looking for an angle, an aspect they don't want you to see, a word not said. It is in this arena of debate that I do best.

The question that remains is will I give up some of my questions in exchange for electoral success? Never.

Am I being too arogant in my manner at the moment? dunno. Don't think so, but its always good to tone it down a bit. I'd hope that enough people would be my friend to point it out if I was, cause that does take a real friend.

This is turning into a very educational process. I think that I'm learning a lot about myself and my abilities as both a leader and a Politician. I don't think I'm that good a Politician! Yet I reckon thats a good thing. lol.

As The Rock would say: Time to lay the smack down...

"The leaders I met, whatever walk of life they were from, whatever institutions they were presiding over, always referred back to the same failure something that happened to them that was personally difficult, even traumatic, something that made them feel that desperate sense of hitting bottom--as something they thought was almost a necessity. It's as if at that moment the iron entered their soul; that moment created the resilience that leaders need."
-- Warren G. Bennis (b. 1925), American writer, educator, University of Southern California sociologist

"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order to things."
-- Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527), Italian political theorist, writer, "The Prince"

"If you don't like the way the world is, you change it. You have an obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time."
-- Marian Wright Edelman (b. 1939), American writer, author
