More About Me

I'm passionate about

Helping others and finding the things in life that make life worth living.

An idea worth spreading

The less words you use to express an idea or opinion, the more meaning it carries. For example, I define love with two words: unconditional acceptance.

A comment on Conversation: How much of a right do students have to questioning and independent thinking?

Jan 10 2013: Simple, students should be able to question anything they want. Creativity and imaginative thinking allow for a more engaged way of intrepreting ideas.
A reply on Conversation: If the cure for cancer and AIDS really is being developed, how will it impact society's willingness to live healthy lifestyles?

Jan 7 2013: I had no intention of implying that AIDS results from an unhealthy behavior. I simply included it to further this discussion about how a cure for these devistating diseases could have an effect on society as a whole.
A comment on Conversation: If the cure for cancer and AIDS really is being developed, how will it impact society's willingness to live healthy lifestyles?

Jan 6 2013: If this cure becomes a success, will it give people a sense of complacency? Will society shift to an even more unhealthy way of life?
