Abraham Lincoln once polled his Cabinet on a very crucial national issue. They were
unanimous, all of them voting, "Nay." Abe, however, voted. "Aye," and then announced,

good example of democracy in action but, like Saint Paul, a good example of someone
who believes in himself and what he's doing.
