I respect your reasoning - it is a valid argument.

I just don't agree. I think back on my life and the various serious
and important decisions I've had to make for myself and others and
honestly can't think of a single time that I was "fully qualified" to
make them due to age, experience or ability.

other good points snipped for brevity

Part of the evaluation of risk taking is consideration to the ramifications
of failure, both to yourself and to others directly dependent on your
success. These are pretty high stakes and one needs to be very confident
in the team's qualifications.

I know that in my business it was just as important to know what contracts
*not* to take as it was determining which ones to aggressively go after.

But,both you and RG have made valid points worth consideration. I'll keep
an open mind and see how this all plays out.

That's all anyone can ask.

I've felt for a while now, since the election cycle started cranking
up last year, that this is one of those nexus points in the flow of
history where civilizations are set to collide.

The choice is going to be important, no doubt about it. However, I
think in the end, it's just as important to stand behind whoever is
elected whether you agree with that individual or not because the
cirsumstances are that critical to the survival of our society.

And the band plays on. :)
