I looked at our downsides: time away from my family, money, my reputation, a loss of privacy, and possible total humiliation. It could be that no one would listen to the magical Asian man who wanted to give everyone money. I could live with that. At least I’d be able to look at myself in the mirror and say that I stood up for what I believed was right and fought for a vision of the future I would actually be proud to leave to our children.
