What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?...

My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be right, and then be easy to live with, if possible, but in that order. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be right, and then be easy to live with, if possible, but in that order.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call you that backing of your friends?
