    I found this quote too good to pass up and while I did use it in a few comments, I felt it needed its own post. Hillary and McCain have both dismissed the power of well thought out words. They push back against that which inspires and motivates, trying to reduce and belittle it.

    "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form"
