About Me

Just your run of the mill renagade who subscribes to the following ideas: 1. Conformist live in the now while non-conformist define the future. 2. Being famous does not make you right (ie. Hitler, G.W. Bush,Jr GWBush UPDATE*DAMN HE'S MAJOR UNPOPULAR! (We got HOPE people!) 3. Being disliked does not make you pathetic (Remember early MLK, Malcolm X, and Che?) 4. Money is a tool not a privilege nor an idol. It's a opportunity that should be used to make things better for the common good and not employed as a crutch for one's insecurity, lack of self growth or as a weapon. 5. When we fail to see the interconnectivity of all things on this orb called Earth we walk down a path which eventually will doom this thing we call life. 6. The internet is a resource that has the power to level the playing field if only the masses sees it's potential and evolve beyond using it as a toy for working out personal neurosis (Remember that's why we have therapists :-) ) 7. People who let others deny them their dreams seem doomed to a life called NIGHTMARE! 8. Being opinionated can be a good thing. Just as long as you check it on the regular. http://www.ipropaganda.com/
