One of the things I learned while working for Onondaga is the Iroquoian concept that a person who was your ally in yesterday's struggle, isn't necessarily still your ally today.

And one thing I learned from cab drivers in Boston is that you might always support a certain politician as a candidate for a Senate seat -- and have an overall approval of their service in the Senate -- yet not support them for the presidency .....even if that politician believes their last name entitles them to unquestioning support.
