Because it's easy to fool yourself (or others) about your level of conviction in a policy until you have "skin" in the game. Then you find out how much you truly believe it. Put another way, if you're willing to send other kids to war, but not your own, then you don't believe in your own policy and you're a hypocrite. Put a 3rd way, I'll use a sports analogy: Let's say I'm constantly talking up the Colts and how they're going to run the board this year and anybody that doesn't see that doesn't understand football as well as I. You might say, "put your money where your mouth is. Put $10,000 on the line." That'd be an easy way to find out how much I truly believe in the policy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:184544 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
