Randy Snow, 10 singles titles, US Open,Olympian in three different sports .. from a chair.
What Gives Me Hope Very little, other than Buddhism plus those stalwart souls who've by choice, or happenstance devoted their lives to social activism, and making this a better place to live. Mankind, as usual, follows the lowest common denominator, as witnessed by the current political climate.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Instantly abolish the death penalty, and get the troops out of Iraq, and Afghanistan.
