You're right - not taking some kind of stand sort of weakens whatever platform you might have because people want to see you stand up for something. It doesn't have to be something outrageous but at least something. Yes, you are right - if we truly feel we acted in good faith, than that's all we can do. We can sleep at night because of that. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it. Stephen Lawrence:

A mentor has taught me to take a stand to be a leader. I have also learned that not having a take produces lousy writing/blog post. I agree with you that others' opinions is not within our control, but what's important is that we can touch our hearts and say we have acted in good faith. So let us take our stand, offend, and live tall. Kudos on this post. I really like it! Hi Stephen,
