Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Don't also forget the equally or more important HB 553 (http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=83R&Bill=HB553)

If you happen to live in the districts of Reps. Otto, Aycock, Pitts, Darby, Keffer, Dale or White now might be a good time to send a thank you note. If you're like me and don't than a gentle nudge to your local Rep seems appropriate.

So great to see an elected official with their head screwed on straight. O0 O0 O0 

Has the Governor ever attended an Appleseed? I'd invite him to one up Nort' here but probably not workable.

How about you folks down in the great state of Texas sending out some feelers?

I spoke with my State Rep (Lois Kolkhorst) & State Senator (Glenn Hegar) offices today. They're both on board with this and the bill to allow teachers to carry concealed.

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Winston Churchill
