And all those fighting back against crazed Republican extremists demanding ransoms but willing to give nothing. Do not give up. Abide by the Stonecutter's quote, and the motto of my beloved San Antonio Spurs:
"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
