"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
--Elie Wiesel, author, in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech
I'm a writer.
I'm a reader.
I'm an optimist and an activist.
You can read my bio here , or see my personal blog here .
I have a BS in Political Science and a BA in History from Florida State University. I'm very involved in human rights, so that's mostly what you'll find here. But I try to share some fun stuff as well.
If you're offended by profanity, liberal sensibilities, rampant idealism or flagrant self-indulgence, just save yourself the trouble and run far, far away.

When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.
