Hello!

This is not where I tell you about me. Following are observations that just may have something to do with why I get up in the morning.

Exactly why I'm not cut out for politics...

"I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office." ~H.L. Mencken, 1880-1956

The audacity of hope:

"Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it." ~Barack Obama, 2008

Apathy should be a felony because...

"It's not enough to be a critical thinker, problem solver, effective communicator and team builder, as it is inadequate to be a respectful, socially responsible individual... it's often as simple as recognizing the power and ultimate consequence of your willful ignorance." ~Yours truly, 2008
