About Jennifer
"When experience and integrity matter."
"They're certainly
entitled to think
that, and they're
entitled to full
respect for their
opinions... But
before I can live
with other folks
I've got to live with
myself.  The one
thing that doesn't
abide by majority
rule is a person's
conscience."

Atticus Finch,
To Kill a
Mockingbird
