They should realize the alternative is their leaders will by definition be, sociopaths.

There are times when what we work very hard for, when what we believe in very strongly seems to drift farther away, and emotion is a natural expression.

I remember after many letters to the editor, organizing many busses for peace marches, attending many demonstrations and gatherings, living many hours of many days with hope and in defiance of the odds of failure and eventual outcome; when the first bombs fell on Iraqi civilians and I realized the majority of people in my own country polled their approval, tears rolled down my cheeks.

I am not a Hillary fan, and I do not agree with her politics, but I do believe she is sincere, and I am much less worried of her show of emotion, than if she displayed none.

I guess I'll have to work on my stoic macho male image and manner.
