"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Pig ..sticking

I've been watching  debates between American Republican candidates for the presidential nomination.
Without knowing  pig-sticking ,  the word came to mind as I watched the process.

I thought it was in the category of  cock-fighting and dog fighting; Unspeakably cruel, appealing only to  sub-intellects and prohibited in  civilized societies

One reason  only could  compel a person to submit to such indignity..... overwhelming lust for power and total lack of self-respect.

Sounds exactly what you were exposed to last term and many more before, the only difference is that you maintained your composure and your self respect in spite of the unspeakable cruelty dished out by the sub intellects
