About Me Still under construction but making progress. Almost have the judgmental pot hole filled in.
My politics are dependent on the issue not the "label". Everyone is responsible for their actions and needs to be held accountable for them. Humor, without it why live. I am sarcastic, relatively witty, enjoy it when a child tells a joke.

IT DID NOT WORK!!
My Philosophy I attempt not to judge others, that is better done by others beyond me.
What Gives Me Hope Seeing people pulling together to solve problems that the government refuses to do anything about.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by I would leave peace on earth and fixing the environment to others. Mine is a bit closer to home . I would ensure that all people have enough food to promote good health. Shelter of the sort they want and programs that help them regain their self-respect.
What/who changed my life and why My daughter Stefanie. She has taught me to be non judgmental and look beyond the physical person. watch "Lars and the Real Girl" to see what a community can do when they accept each other.
