For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state and our education system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
-- Charles Bukowski, Life magazine, December 1988, quoted from James A Haught, ed, 2000 Years of Disbelief
A Man's character is his fate-Heraclitus, quoted by David McCullough at the opening intro of PBS's "Nixon,"of its President's Series

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.- Galileo Galilei".
More about Brian:"Languages, Spanish. This needs explaining. I have family members that have Spanish as a second language, that know the language, have lived in Spain etc., etc. I have taken to this, by taking Spanish several times, as recent as 2008. It's from that, that I know basics when I need them. I've been able to build upon this at my job, where I work with a lot of people that don't speak a word of English, and only Spanish. I've kept my Spanish to English/English to Spanish Dictionary,cause I'm a pack rat, and I've learned that if you get the gist of what a person is saying, you're half way there.
There was also the contractors who were painting my apartment, I had to fetch my Spanish to English/English to Spanish Dictionary, to tell them what rooms to paint, and what rooms not to paint.
This is my favorite piece of art work. I did this in high school...shows how old I am...,in a Commercial Art class, I copied it from a Life magazine "Bobby and Martin 25 years."Its really an impressionist work best viewed close up.
On my profile, is a lot of Poker and related card games. I got introduced to Blackjack at camp. And that was my game when it came out on Microsoft games in 1995. Went to Las Vegas, true story,my brother found me at a card table winning hands, at Blackjack.
More???? You want to know more??? Let's see, what can I say that you haven't already read about me?
Dear Reader, you have now reached the end of my information, sure you still have to read my email address, but let's be honest with ourselves, you have reached the end. So, to paraphrase the Beatles, scroll back up on top and read the information again as you come down the slide and you go for a ride, and then just rinse and repeat.".
