Bio

An individualist is a person who says: "I will not run anyone's life - nor let anyone run mine. I will not rule or be ruled. I will not be a master nor a slave. I will not sacrifice myself to anyone - nor sacrifice anyone to myself."
-- Ayn Rand

(I believe in personal responsibility above all else. You cannot control anyone's behavior except for your own. Liberating, no?)

the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack."
Rudyard Kipling

(I also realize that we are defined in large part by our connections to one another. It's what makes life interesting, and often keeps us going when there's not much else)

""The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I really want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.'"
- George Carlin

(I am fascinated by the phenomenon of humor. If you can't laugh at life once in awhile, you're done for.)
