The Ultimate Measure of a Man

[Kire]

When I told my friend I had an appointment to get this tattoo last week, he told me he was going to get a tattoo when he gets to North Carolina. It's going to have an image of the State of New Jersey, and under it is going to say "By Birth" and he is also going to have an image of the state of North Carolina, and under that it is going to say "By Choice".

That's fine and good for him, I suppose, but it's distasteful to me.

If I ever get the courage to endure the pain, I want to get a tattoo that says "The Ultimate Measure of a Man" on the soles of my feet because Dr. King said:

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

2. The President of USA is supposed to be insulated from...

most of the things that would threaten the comfort and convenience of people who have less extraordinary jobs.

In other words, if accurately calculating the ultimate measure of the President would require deliberate creation of discomfort and inconvenience for the President, then maybe the American people should help create circumstances that will not reveal the ultimate measure of the President, but that will instead allow the President to succeed beyond the level that would be dictated by the ultimate measure of the President.
