Failing doesn't make you a failure. Giving up does - self

I have seen the emergence of technologies over the past 50 years and watched political debate be reshaped and degraded, the divides growing ever wider. I've traveled the world as a green-clad emissary for the nation with a well-oiled M-16 at my side, following somewhat in the tradition of my father. Everywhere I have been equates to places I have left friends because when it comes down to the basics in life, all of us are the same and want the same things. It only takes the desire to do so and one can find common ground easily enough with those around him.

Most of my adult life after the Army has been spent in Information Technology or in retail sales. The desire to communicate through writing, however, grew from a need to stem a steady diet of witnessing injustices, large and small, personal and societal. Maybe life really isn't fair, but does that mean we should give up trying to make it so?

When you're on your way to nowhere, an amazing number of people are perfectly willing to help you get there. - Me.
