Courage

Some of you may be following the campaign trail. Last week, Mitt Romney made an ostensibly ballsy speech defending his Mormon faith, the "faith of his fathers." What is so courageous about stating that you follow the same faith your father indoctrinated you into, the same faith your father's father indoctrinated him with? Never mind the merit and tenets of the Mormon faith. I find little courage in being born into tradition you don't question. Those who find or lose faith, based on life experience, scrutiny, and personal choice, can sometimes be considered courageous. Is Bohemigrant courageous for not renouncing his ethnic background?
