Wild Fact About Me

My Philosophy

What Gives Me Hope

The fact that we are all human, and every injustice in this world affects us one way or another. Even those who are apathetic will wake up at some point. Better sooner than later.

If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by

What/who changed my life and why

I always knew I wanted to make a difference in the world, but going to the Darfur Rally in NYC in September 2006 really set that into stone. That was the day I decided that I would work for the well-being of humanity for the rest of my life.

Quotation

The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe.
~Kahlil Gibran

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
~Nelson Mandela
