Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose? Nothing else. Tell me then, you men, do you wish to live in error? We do not. No one who lives in error is free. Do you wish to live in fear? Do you wish to live in sorrow? Do you wish to live in tension? By no means. No one who is in a state of fear or sorrow or tension is free, but whoever is delivered from sorrows or fears or anxieties, he is at the same time also delivered from servitude.

Epictetus

Epicurus

Others will have opinions on how I do and that's just fine... I've been elected four times, delivered results for my constituents and delivered legislative policy changes that have helped veterans, for example. So, I'm going to keep doing the hard work that I've done that has worked so far for my community and for our team.
