I have to say I agree with Jan and CD, Mark. Your efforts are genuine but you have to forgive the cynicism CD has. In many ways I share it. I also agree with GB and Pete's sentiments. I wouldn't quote Ford for the life of me. Ford was a major league asshole for starters. Churchill was a stirring speaker for sure. But he was really nothing more than a tory asshole who got the sack after the war. People also forget he was a key decision maker in the Gallipoli balls up in WWI which saw thousands of Kiwis and Aussies die senselessly. An action he was unrepentant about till he died the prick.
