CURRENT MISSION

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand ..."

ABOUT ME

"When we too are armed and trained, we can convince men that we have hands, feet, and a heart like yours; and although we may be delicate and soft, some men who are delicate are also strong; and others, coarse and harsh, are cowards. Women have not yet realized this, for if they should decide to do so, they would be able to fight you until death; and to prove that I speak the truth, amongst so many women, I will be the first to act, setting an example for them to follow."
~ Veronica Franco

PHILOSOPHY

an insight into me:

- i am for a "socialist" system in which the -small- amount of taxes we pay should go to education, healthcare and preservation of our environment. this does not make me a socialist, a democrat, or a hippie.

- education should be free.

- health care should be free.

- i believe it is unconstitutional to pay an income tax. there is no law that states we must pay an income tax. so, i will continue to not pay and find holes in the law to get around paying.

- i believe all food should be organic and that beef should be outlawed.

- i am anti-capitalism. this is important... i am anti-global capitalism. i am for healthy competition in the american market. however, this aspect of the economy is almost nonexistent.

-i don't care if you have a gun or do not have a gun. just be responsible with it, if you do.

-i think most people are bi-sexual, not hetrosexual.

-i believe a woman should have the right to choose.

-i pray that gas will reach 10.00 a gallon so that americans will be forced to find new alternatives to transportation, help with their growing waistlines and be forced to deal with the current state of affairs.

-i don't believe most people under the age of 30 should have babies. in fact, i don't believe most people should have babies... they (we) can barely take care of themselves (ourselves).

- i don't dream of one day getting married and living happily ever after. i do not know if i believe marriage is a good idea or an outdated one. haven't made up my mind about that one yet.

-i do not believe in "evil" or "goodness."

-i do not believe in God... from any common christian standpoint.

-if i could live anywhere in the world right now, it would not be in america. i am ashamed to be an american and anyone who is educated should also feel the same.

- the difference between me and ever other person who bitches about the way america currently is... i am going to finish my education so i can be a part of the change i see that needs to happen in the non-profit/for-profit/government sectors of this country.

I have a lot of very strong opinions about life. However, I will not share them unless asked or confronted with a dilemma. I tend to be very laid back.

Interests

learning new things. Quotes...

“The privilege and the penalty of your education and the position you hold in society is that now, as in the past, you will be the pacesetters for social and political thought in your community. You may not accept such responsibility, but it makes no difference. It is inescapable. If you decide to set no dreams, to forward no vision, you will still be the pacesetters. You will simply have decided that there is no pace.”
