    LOL. Don't be leaking anything anywhere... That's just icky.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Yeah my policy is not to vote for someone running unopposed, if they don't vote for themselves, they don't deserve the job.

    If you are not going to vote for yourself you should not be running. You should only run when you think you are the best canidate!

    Nah, you're safe... Write-ins are not valid unless you fill out the proper paperwork before the election.
