"Weapons are the tools of violence;
all decent people detest them..."
~Tao te Ching, Chapter 31

May we always seek peace, but never at the expense of justice.

"Democracy doesn't defend itself.
It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."
~Rob Reiner

"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"

He replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."

I was today years old when I learned that what some people mean when they say they are dog people/dog-lovers is not what I mean when I say that.

Dogs are not objects to satisfy our needs for companionship or entertainment, but are living entities with physical, emotional, and social needs.

My father and paternal grandmother, who I am named after. My dad was on his way to Europe during WWII. He started in the Army Air Corps and then became a scout in the 44th Infantry Division after the Air Force was formed as a separate branch.

He came home with two Purple Hearts and PTSD.
