in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does
not make glory, and singing in the dark does
not dispel fear. King Hussein Reason and free
inquiry are the only effectual agents against
error. - Thomas Jefferson We have made mistakes.

we did not foresee the full consequences of
our actions. And when the people raised their
voices, we didn't hear. But our deafness was
only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible
condition.
