One of my coaches Ron Bynum used to say "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything."  Your post reminded me of that.  Even a passion triggered by something we are against has a FOR just on the other side - if we are willing to take a stand for something rather than fight against the status quo we can actually bring a whole new possibility to life.

Great post Mike.  As always thanks for the inspiration!
