Conscience is a man's compass, and though
the needle sometimes deviates, though
one often perceives irregularities when
directing one's course by it, one must
still try to follow its direction.

Since our "representatives" don't have the self-discipline to step aside on their own, it's time for a term limit amendment.

Frontal drag is the number one enemy of the swimmer. Swimming is arguably the most technique sensitive sport on the planet. With water being some 800 times denser than air, the frontal drag forces that slow swimmers down come into play at much slower speeds than all other sports on land. For that reason, in order to become fast, we must learn how to reduce frontal drag as much as possible.
