Amy,

I appreciate your passion. My doctor once said to me: would you rather be "right or happy?" He said I had a need to be right and I was a real "reformer" and he had all the personality tests to back it up. Of course, I fought him all the way, claiming I was an artist or anything but a reformer. Years later I realized he was right, that I was a "reformer", and would rather be right than happy.

So from one reformer to another, I understand where you're coming from and it's completely valid. We are driven by a need for perfection, justice, and what's right.

When someone or something has you riled, don't rise to the bait. Or, as they say around here, "don't wrestle with the pig". The thinking, I guess, is that the pig is already covered with mud and doesn't mind running around while we get muddy and tired.

You belong, you're loved, and discussions on the board aren't that terribly significant.

take care,

verne
