Yes, let me reveal myself, put myself on a pedestal so that I can be struck down in short order by the collective force of everyone I oppose.

I said actions matter, and that is quite true. Just because I speak as I do now, doesn't mean those actions are not happening.

"Substantial" is... really, beyond such trivial things. Really, it's more of a personal stake. What is substantial to me may not be to yourself. Everyone has their own definition of what that could mean to them.

For me?

It's going towards precisely the right path.
