About Me

I work in television. I love music. I care greatly about the future of our country. Some Of My Favorite Quotes:"The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin." Mark Twain"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." Edward R. Murrow"The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them." Mark Twain"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." quote verified at snopes.com Hermann Goering"Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." Frederick Douglass"As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." Justice William O. Douglas"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~~George OrwellI dig rock & roll music. I used to drive a satellite truck for a living, now I just make TV happen from behind the scenes. I spend the majority of my vacation time working music festivals. I spend my spare time going nowhere fast on my stationary bike while playing Halo 2 and jamming to my I-pod.
