Once More, With Feeling

To Whom It May Concern:

"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by the thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

--Octavia E. Butler

No more room for cowardice, equivocation, or avoidance.

Stand and deliver.
