I'll admit, I've probably thought about this blog once a day, written something halfway, and then put it down. Part of it is I'm afraid of setting down thoughts that I will disagree with in the future. It's as if my experience of going through high school and cringing at the memory, has convinced me I should never do anything potentially embarrassing again.
But as John Gardner says in "On Leadership": leaders change, just as people change. The patient Lincoln became the activist Lincoln. We would like to freeze our leaders in time at the point where we most believed in them, or liked what they were doing, but try as we might they evolve. This doesn't make them bad or good, simply human.
