“Light brings greater knowledge.
Knowledge brings greater understanding.
And twelve people discussing something
rationally and reasonably,
questioning each other,
trying to get it right,
guarantees greater knowledge and greater understanding...

Some say that last Thursday was a sad day for American democracy,
but I felt as I did when Watergate came to light,
and Nixon resigned.
For me it was the act that was sad,
that one person was that corrupt
and those around him that corruptible.

For me, that it came to light and led to consequences
is the triumph.”
