My Philosophy
Something I say to myself every day is, "I can do this; people do this every day, I can do it, too." It works in all situations. :)
What Gives Me Hope
The sun still rising gives me hope.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Close down Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow, Dupont, and Bayer. Prosecute Cheney, Bush, Rove, Greenspan - oh, the list is too long! Stop corporate special interest lobbies. Instate Universal healthcare. Outlaw factory farming. Outlaw fossil fuel. Make FDR's proposed 2nd Bill of Rights law.
What/who changed my life and why
Life changes from moment to moment, with many types of input, many variables. Every person I've ever met has changed my life.
