Favorite Quotes:

"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
— John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."
— Gaylord Nelson
former governor of Wisconsin, co-founder of Earth Day

"If there were in this world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years."
_Bertrand Russell

About Me I work my local SPCA where I spend my time trying to educate the community on the importance of spaying/neutering, not supporting puppy mills and a whole myriad of other animal welfare issues. I love politics and getting involved in a good friendly political debate, I also enjoy a good conversation/discourse on any thought provoking subject. I like to think that I am open-minded, fair, pragmatic, passionate and compassionate
