I care about the environment, the disabled, the elderly, the working poor, gay rights, civil rights, the homeless, those without health insurance, and our military. I worry about the budget deficit, the trade deficit, global warming and deforestation. I fear that our Constitution is a joke to the insane, Faux News watching, Nazi-like republicans. I love rock n roll.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

God has cared for these trees , saved them from drought, disease, avalanches,
and a thousand straining, leveling tempests and floods, but he cannot save them from fools.

-- John Muir

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly."

-- Buddha

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Danbury Baptist Association, CT., Jan. 1, 1802

"The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."

--Thomas Paine.
