What do you really need to know about me that you could trust? What could I tell you that wouldn’t be shrouded by my own ego?
I know that some people will find this page and find something that they didn’t know or think of before and perhaps they will pass it on to someone else. The side effect, I think, is that if you read about what I think and believe and the people that I take inspiration from, and will know me more than through any description I could write for myself.
So enough about me. Here is something from a man far more insightful and one the most inspirational men I have ever heard speak. If there is any message that we as a people, as a nation, and as a planet should hear; this man has found the means to articulate it. Please meet Professor Randy Pausch and his version of the “Last Lecture”, a message to his children.

The Silent Revolution of Truth
Contrary to much of the subject matter on my space (pun intended), my outlook on our present day macro sociology is a positive one. I believe we are amidst a tremendous silent revolution of truth that will cause us a people to take back our lives, our countries, and our planet so that our destinies will be determined by our individuality and our group consciousness and not by a hand full of power elite for their own ends.
Does this mean I believe in conspiracies? Well yes I do. Keep in mind that on the small scale conspiracies are practiced all the time. When ever we talk about a class mate or fellow worker behind their back we are involved in a conspiracy. If you move up the stakes when ever an employer doesn’t hire a person or give a person equal treatment because of race or sex he is involved in a conspiracy. Every time a public office holder takes a bribe he is involved in a conspiracy. Moving up even hire we have all see corporate conspiracies, such as Enron’s fake energy crisis scandal or insider trading scandals. Is there really anyone out there that truly believes that there has never been a senator or congressman that hasn’t taken a bribe? What about the CIA, whose job it is to keep secrets; haven’t they been involved with covert operations in foreign nations above and beyond inelegance gathering? Conspiracies exist no matter on what level you play at. It would be quite foolish to think that they don’t exist. Remember John F. Kennedy’s speech about secret societies or Eisenhower’s speech warning us about the military industrial complex?
Like Dr. Phil keeps saying over and over again, “You can’t fix what you don’t acknowledge.” Bearing that in mind I want to stress that although some of these problems and negative trends might seem insurmountable they are not. We must all keep in mind the example set forth by Mahatma Gandhi when he marched 240 miles to the coastal city of Dandi and made salt in violation of the British salt tax. Small revolutions can have big impacts.
I hope to bring to the attention of anyone who cares to read the problems that we often don’t acknowledge in my blogs. I will also attempt to offer the solution that you and I, on an individual level, can do to either enact change or simply not participate in a practice that is hurting us as a people. If anyone that has cared to read the blog also cares to post a comment on it, we will have started a dialog. If others care to join the dialog we may even have a chance to start a conspiracy of our own; which is, of course, the best way to combat a conspiracy.
So I hope you read, watch the videos and make comments. I hope that we can find ways to network and make change happen in all of our lives.
My Military Experience
I am not thrilled with advertising too many details about my life on such a public forum, but it I need to qualify my position on some of the things I say here. I am a Marine Veteran (Gulf War era) and served several years under both President Bush Sr. and President Clinton’s terms of office.
Thankfully I narrowly escaped Kuwait by a matter of a week, although I didn’t think so at the time. I won’t go into where I was stationed or what I did there. I had more than my share of good times and I some blood and guts too. I do have an honorable discharge, I still celebrate the Marine Corps birthday, and I still have friends in the service (some on their second and third tours in Iraq). I have also have spent time working in a Veteran’s Hospital.
I do have military insight and sources that most people don’t have, but not nearly enough to have a big picture of things. So, my purpose in writing this to illustrate that despite what I may have to say about war and military actions, I do support the troops. In fact, from my point of view to support our current foreign policy is to condemn our troops and ourselves. Roman mothers would tell their sons going out for conquest to come home with their shield or on it. As more and more Roman soldiers started coming home on their shields the saying died out… and so did Rome.
