I'm old enough to remember that in the Senate Watergate Committee report, it was noted that the primary responsibility of the Congress is to inform the public. The report includes a couple of historical quotes to document this, and I always try to keep them in mind.

Also, being of both limited life experience and intellect, I always compare everything to the sport of boxing. I never approached any important fight -- if I were boxing, or the trainer -- with only one of the opponent's weaknesses in mind. As you note, that would be dangerous, be it with a king of any type. I focus on all strengths and weaknesses in preparation, and identify ways to exploit each. And I view this critical struggle in our nation's current history in exactly that context.
