I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger. ↗

It is often more important to act than to understand... there are times... when two conflicting opinions, though one happens to be right, are more perilous than one opinion which is wrong. ↗

That's my personal view I would say most in my caucus agree with that but there are some who don't and I've always said that on these kinds of moral issues, people have the right to their own opinions. ↗
