Hey, this is the same sorta thing that I said ("We lost an election this week. We didn't lose our souls, our lives, or our futures. There's always an election to win or lose. A democracy never ends unless we give it up or give up on it. And I'm not about to do that.") after the elections:
So we lost a couple of elections. Big deal. Compared to the sacrifices others have made to be agents of constructive change, so what? So I say, take a deep breath. Decide what you believe. Rear back and go on.-- President Bill Clinton.
Maybe Bill and I should have a chat.
