Barry Goldwater was correct.

Do not give any consideration to how other people may think of you.  Now is the day of age in which we all must think outside of the box.  It is the time of the previously unthinkable and the age of the only previously imaginable.  Trust your gut feelings about what you see or hear.  Our time in history is the one of the common person, the one in which the everyday citizen can, and has the power to change the future for the better.  Our strength is numbers, every voice counts, every soul makes a difference.  You may never know which pivotal person you will influence.  Fight now while it is easy, for time only hardens the task.
