However, if you don't do the best you can by your own yardstick, you are always to blame, even if nothing bad comes of it.

Where in this set of absolutes does one get to think "you know, I really worked hard for that outcome. I deserve to feel good about it."?

Am I on ignore, or invisible, or is this not a valid question?

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.
