patchworkmind is one of those rare disconcerting people who would rather be right than President. He is warm-hearted, a good friend, and very likely a wonderful father, but all these things, important though they are, pale slightly when compared to an integrity so colossal and instinctive that nobody, whether one agreed with him or not (and I disagree with him politically more often than one might imagine, since I detest Libertarianism), could possibly fail to perceive. Such people do not have an easy life; their integrity, their inability to compromise and sell their enormously high standards down the river for any reason, make it a bit hard for them to move in the ordinary world of compromise and half-measures. As often as not, they are rated as failures or disappointments. Yet, in some mysterious manner, it is people like him that keep the world turning. There is a Jewish legend that says that at any time there are 36 righteous people in the world who keep God from destroying it. He might be one of them.
