When good men and women don't stand up and do the right thing, they should not complain about the results there of. Take a stand and let the chips fall wherever that may be, thanks for posting Milton...

(chuckling) I recall someone telling me when I joined the U.S. Air Force, "Never volunteer!"

I believe sometimes we do nothing when we should have done something even if it was just to pray. Thanks for your visit. Sara

Taking a stand on something important may not always be easy, but if we don't, we may let our integrity fall.

So true, Jenna. And, when we do so, we can expect harsh criticism from those who have little understanding of integrity.
