I should just move on, but I won't.

Is sticking to one's guns, no matter if it hurts an entire race, something to admire in someone? I find much more admiration for someone who can say, 'I've thought about it, and I am wrong' than someone who says, 'I am right no matter what anyone says, I can make no errors ever'.

I love people who stick to their guns, but when someone's wrong they're wrong. And while they run unstoppable downhill fueled by their own ill-conceived convictions, I'll wait for them to fall. And excuse my laughing when they do.

I know what it's like to be in someone else's shoes. And for that fact alone, I am a better man than the late Jesse Helms ever was.
