Don't hold delusions on newfound power

I do not like moral political victories but one has to make the exception for a special person that happens to have been a candidate: Ben Lowe. This young man is well on his way to success. We were lucky to have him take on the challenge as a candidate against unbelievable odds and without the support of any established political party until the Democrats gave him some support late in the race.

We need more people like Ben to step forward and participate in the political process. Thank you, again, to Ben and to all the new people he brought into his campaign. We can only hope that Ben and his supporters will continue to be engaged in politics and ultimately get elected.

And for those beating on their collective chests and yelling like Tarzan about their newfound power in taking over this or that, I suggest you consider this quote from Cicero: “Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.”
