About Me

I believe in finding a way to find a way. I believe in drawing conclusions. I believe one can effectively discern the nature of reality and systemize a methodology to achieve fulfillment in one's existence. I believe it's possible because it can be conceived. C.S. Lewis and I are on the same page up to that point.I however believe that that all people have the capacity to envision humanity without barriers, exlusionary religions or idealogies and most of all, without conflict. If we are going to survive the emerging globalization of everything there is no choice but to accept that borders and race are meaningless, exploitation of the impoverished is ethically unacceptable, and raping the earth's natural resources for profit is a really bad idea.
