Sometimes it's easier to ignore the tough questions.


opinion: The remaining small government conservatives in the GOP are completely out of the loop. They represent a large number of voters and need to assert themselves.

No, it's valid, I'm not ignoring you.. I'm just lazy. :p
In your example, you're proud of your hard work. You're proud of your action. The fact that your commendable action resulted in a good outcome is gravy. It's fully appropriate to be proud of your actions, in my world view.
