I played William H. Seward. No, really. My first post-college job was as part of a regional theatre company in New Salem State Park (just outside of Springfield, IL). I was in a show called "Your Obedient Servant, A Lincoln" and played, in turn, Mary Owens, William H Seward, a confederate soldier, a Union soldier, and half a dozen other roles. I have a scar on my right knee from a mishap one night while getting killed at Gettysburg...
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
