About Me

I tend to look for the good in things and I notice that you usually find what you are looking for. If you look for bad in everything, that's what you'll find. I don't really care if the glass is half full or half empty. If I'm thirsty and there's something in the glass then it's a good thing.

Heroes:

Obi-Wan Kenobi - "You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."
Yoda - "Do or do not, there is no try."
Thoedore Roosevelt - "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Theodore Roosevelt was a giant among men who had great ideas. The Presidents of old spoke with elequent words and had ideals that the people could govern themselves and that the President and all other government employees should be servants of the people always doing what was best for the people who elected them to govern.
He set aside countless acres of land as protected National Parks to be saved and maintained for people to enjoy and cherish for decades to follow.
He also challenged the monopoly of "Big Oil" - namely the company controlling most of the oil in the early 1900's - Standard Oil. He saw their business tactics as a threat to the American people and the resource that they were all dependant on. Standard Oil was broken into several separate companies so they would not have complete control of a resource that the country as a whole depended on.
He saw government as a tool of the people, to protect the people's best interest and serve the people well.
There is no person that I know of in our current government that comes close to upholding the values and morals that this, our 26th president of the United States of America so prudently strived for.
