One of my favorite quotes, by Theodore Roosevelt:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris

Dear Friends, I constantly have ideas in my head and wonder how important other people think they are. For example, with the Presidential race going on, I noticed right away that my favorite candidate, Ron Paul was doing much better than I expected, but that nobody in the media was talking about it. Of course, once I noticed this, I started to find that others noticed it too, including some pretty well known media sources, so I felt much better. (see this example The Daily Show with Jon Stewart ) Now, if only the mainstream media would do it's job and do some unbiased reporting. But that would be asking too much, I guess.

Does this matter?
