So I'm going to have to think about this, not make a snap judgement.

I see one is in the lead already, and as of now, Ben Franklin's words have no votes.

But they are all good. I would have gone with the Minchin quote, but I just love Sagan too much. Sagan's quote also is the answer that will light a fire under your butt once you realize that you are the master of your life.

No wonder it is an impossible choice. I would have went with Minchin because I love that one, but I also really liked the Tree of Knowledge and it had so few votes.

And YES, I WANT THEM TO CONTINUE!!! I have gotten to where I look forward to these. No improvements are needed as far as I am concerned.

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Not only does it point out that we are most likely on our own, but that if we want change, if we want justice, if we want hope...that we have to make it ourselves.

It empowering, while concise and beautifully written. It might not win, but it is my favorite of the bunch.


AND PLEASE, please, please keep the polls coming. The best addition to DU that I can think of in my time here.

... I'm not sure I would go so far as to say:

But they are fun for me to do (as long as I have the time to build the post every week) and everyone else seems to enjoy them.

Thanks for the endorsement, and BTW, I do enjoy your choice of font.

Thanks!

Finally decided to be a conservative traditional Fundamentalist Atheist, and go with B. Franklin. Without people like him, we might really be a "Xian nation" by law.

Yes, please do continue these. They're educational and fun.
