It's part of that whole hope and change extravaganza thing we got goin' here. Walk softly but carry a big sledgehammer, but use it only when necessary, I think. Democritus once wrote, "Throw moderation to the winds, and the greatest pleasures bring the greatest pains." The people who cannot moderate their own disruptive and destructive pleasures will eventually experience the great pains that inevitably come with it. Moderation is literally a lessening of the extremes, temperance. I'm optimistic that most people, if given the opportunity, can realize that without having to be beaten by it.
