About Me

"There are good men and bad men of all nationalities, creeds and colors; and if this world of ours is ever to become what we hope some day it may become, it must be by the general recognition that the man's heart and soul, the man's worth and actions, determine his standing." Letter, Oyster Bay, NY, September 1, 1903 - Teddy Roosevelt"Where a government has come into power through some form of popular vote, fraudulent or not, and maintains at least an appearance of constitutional legality, the guerrilla outbreak cannot be promoted, since the possibilities of peaceful struggle have not yet been exhausted." - Ernesto Che Guevara"We are peddling freedom to the world and daring them to oppose it and bribing them kindly to accept it and dropping death on those who refuse it."-W.E.B. Du Bois, scholar, educator, author.“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” ~ Buddha..
