10. If your dream it to win, then you give up when you've lost but if your dream is to instigate change

on many levels in in many realms any single defeat is just a blip, a moment in a long list of moments. The people who say 'give up on dreams' are always wrong. Change tactics, not objectives.

The entire 'be pragmatic and dream less' element of this Party has been demonstrated to be in the wrong again and again in recent years 'accept civil unions, that's the best we can do for generations' and 'pot will always be a felony no matter what' and 'America is not yet ready to elect a black President'....it goes on and on 'half a loaf' they say 'please be grateful for half a loaf, do not dream of the whole loaf'.

We are the music-makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams.
