Help publicly. Help privately. Help in your actions by recycling and conserving and protecting, but help also in your attitude. Help make sense where sense has gone missing. Help bring reason and respect to discourse and debate. Help science to solve and faith to soothe. Help law bring justice until justice is commonplace. Help and you will abolish apathy -- the void that is so quickly filled by ignorance and evil. ~ Tom Hanks

Here is the test to find whether or not your mission on earth is finished: If you are alive, it isn't. ~ Richard Bach

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.~ Margaret Mead
