"I've had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was completing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her response was a wide-eyed, 'You're not going to tell them, are you!?'

"Sometimes I think we keep going for the Coach CEO or the Coach President not so much because we think we have found our true leader but because we don't trust ourselves to make the hard decisions, and accept ultimate accountability. It's easier to support the guy who promises to turn the company around or lead the country to victory - and then to fire him when he fails - than it is to take the job of being your own coach. That means taking the responsibility of whipping yourself into shape, making a game plan and sending yourself out to do your personal best, win or lose."Cross-Dressing Septuagenarian In Lewd Bust
