I make every effort to edit without personal, political, or religious bias. One result, when editing articles having to do with U.S. politics, is that some people assume I have a left-of-center bias and others that I have a right-of-center bias. 😆 If you came here to check me out, I vote, but belong to no political party, and am pretty much a centrist.

Well, it was supposed to be YoPienso. Changed my signature, but it's not worth a rename to tweak my official username.
Yo pienso means "I think" in Spanish. As in English, it can also mean "I believe" or "I opine," but my intention was to convey "I cogitate."
I haven't collected many awards, and hid away these few. It occurs to me one or more givers may feel unappreciated, which isn't the case, so I've pulled them out of storage and polished—or warmed or chilled, as the case may be—them up (or down!)

“I confess that there are several parts of this Wikipedia project (Oh, wait! Was that Constitution?) which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them. For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.”
—Benjamin Franklin to the Constitutional Convention, 1787
On government:
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” —Lord Acton, re. papal infallibility, 1887
“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” —Winston Churchill to the House of Commons, 1947
“Conservative, n: A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal who wishes to replace them with others.” —Ambrose Bierce, The Cynic's Word Book, 1906

“Most everybody's asleep in Grover's Corners. There are a few lights on. Shorty Hawkins down at the depot has just watched the Albany train go by. And at the livery stable, somebody's staying up late and talking. Yes, it's clearing up. There are the stars doing their old, old crisscross journeys in the sky. Scholars haven't settled the matter yet, but they seem to think there are no living things up there. Just chalk ... or fire. Only this one is straining away, straining away to make something of itself. The strain is so bad that every sixteen hours everyone lies down and gets a rest.
“Eleven o'clock in Grover's Corners. You get a good rest, too.” —Thornton Wilder, Our Town, 1938
