If you are concerned about being criticized, you're in the wrong job. However
you vote, and whatever you do, somebody will be out there telling you that you
are: (a) wrong, (b) insensitive, (c) a bleeding heart, (d) a pawn of somebody
else, (e) too wishy-washy, (f) too unwilling to compromise, (g) all of the
above. Consistency is not required of critics.
-- Pierre S. du Pont
