Description

I am a Nutrition Coach for a large health/fitness corporation. I am a student for life, and a student of life. *** I am absolutely overjoyed with the human capacity of discovery and the human potential that is thereby made possible. I see the world with the freshness and exuberance of a child (a world without limits - BECAUSE curious, joy-seeking humans inhabit it). *** I liken philosophy to learning a skill or trade; the most important skill or trade possible. I believe that discovering the proper use of a human mind is literal emancipation (the "bottle-neck"; beyond which "truth, goodness, beauty, virtue, wisdom, and love" begin to flow like Niagra Falls). *** I have a blog (collecting cyber-dust by now!) at: http://www.ed-ucator.blogspot.com

My Soul is a Pack of Coyotes My soul is a pack of coyotes Trying to catch a rabbit In the field of my imagination. My heart is a flock of seagulls sleeping on water With fish going right under them In every direction Just like my bloodstream. My body is like an Encyclopedia of bones, ... (Read more...)

(Quotes) A power of the individuals who compose legislatures, to fish up wealth from the People, by nets of their own weaving ... will corrupt legislative, executive, and judicial public servants.
(Quotes) We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.
(Quotes) So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, its that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
(Quotes) That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist.
(Quotes) Don't count on luck or God for success, but on your own thinking.
