“And tha’s where you’d be dead wrong!” Mae Mae said as she pointed her finger. “Everybody — every single body — makes a difference! But there is a choice that determines what kinda difference you will make. Most folks don’t see how important they are… how much they matter to all of us. So they never choose to do somethin’ special wif their lives. And not makin’ a choice? That is a choice … a lost one.”

“Adhering too blindly and unyieldingly to a particular party is detrimental to the wellfare of humanity. We should be discerning, watching for candidates who have a career of demonstrable justice, wisdom, compassion and goodness. Otherwise you become recordings of a party line incapable of standing up to an associated group should they legitimately be screwing up. It just becomes about BEING right instead of doing right.”
