Never Defend Yourself

If its not true, it's not worth defending. If it is true, it needs no defending. Take as an example: "I am not a crook." As the November elections approach, the time wasted in defending any position, especially indefensible ones, simply use up energy better spent on what is true and valid. The Hate Card fails to present a potential for cooperation, order and discipline, and seems designed to generate hate, fear, controversy and bullying. These are all the characterterizations we try to eliminate in the schoolyard. Surely we can get along without them in Washington.
