4. Conviction keeps you on topic. Dedication does not allow you to stray.

I'm still on the 2008 economic debacle.

It is popular to waive a flag and say "never forget" about 9/11.

I choose to waive my fist and say "never forget" about the 2008 economic collapse.


We have collectively spent great treasure and blood due to a major terrorist crime that took place twelve years ago. We can't get more than a handful of politicians, at the national level, to champion the justice required, nor the policy changes needed, for a major economic crime that took place five years ago.

Until the day I die, I am dedicated to influencing others, that this crime must be addressed, and that policy must be put in place to mitigate the chances of it happening again.

The current media talking points will always take second place. It is all part of that "never forget" thing.

Conviction keeps you on topic. Dedication does not allow you to stray.

For me personally, this goes well beyond party "loyalty". All who impede correction are criminal in my mind.

I slip in the comment, "too big to prosecute" at almost every opportunity. The current administration has failed.
