I like structure - like driving: go past the school on the street, stay on the right side, no hitting the car, go in right, you'll see a big church, stop and take a left, and you'll have it.

It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.
