“Man is his own STAR; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man
Commands all light, all influence, all fate.
Nothing to him falls early, or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.”
—John Fletcher (1579–1625) , Upon an “Honest Man’s Fortune.”
speaking of the guard, gary trudeau offered to pay $10,000 for proof that GWBush served. the RNC called it a silly stunt. ok. but, even with kerry’s military record inconsistencies, at least he didn’t blow off the guard.
“SELF-reverence, SELF-knowledge, SELF-control,—
These three alone lead life to sovereign power.”
— Alfred Tennyson Tennyson (1809–1892), Å’none.

Kerry’s military record inconsistencies: sometimes he won a bronze star, sometimes he won a silver star.
Flip-flopper!
