I'm not sure that 'fearless' is the right word here. It's said that courage is not the absence of fear but feeling the fear involved and transcending it, doing the necessary and daunting hard work despite the fear we feel.

This may be laughable but sometimes I wonder if I might be today's Churchill.. I'm 65 years old, Anglo-Celtic and leaning hard to the 'greens', very much in favor of indigenous justice, rebuilding and expanding the middle class and not caring about re-election or anything except doing what I understand to be right. I have a number of posts on this magazine; search for my name and a lot will come up. Let me know what you think and why you do.
