Individually, we have to decide when we will take the walls necessarily immediately. You have to start weighing things in. You can think, ‘You know what, I think now is the time.’ This is the moment where, somehow, our Personal elections are going to have to reflect our opinions. We have to start voting. Actually, before the elections, so I would probably vote for not going. “
