Ambition! powerful source of good and ill!

The man who seeks one thing in life, and but one, May hope to achieve it before life be done; But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes, Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows A harvest of barren regrets.

Ambition has no rest!

The children are innocent until proven guilty. For their sake, not ours, we must soldier on, muddling our way toward frugality, simplicity, liberty, community, until some kind of sane and rational balance is achieved between our ability to love and our cockeyed ambition to conquer and dominate everything in sight. No wonder the galaxies recede from us in every direction, fleeing at velocities that approach the speed of light. They are frightened. We humans are the Terror of the Universe.

I continue to be very disappointed that the E.U. did not reciprocate with a similar level of ambition on market access as we offered on domestic support,

Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude.
