Rolando, I have NO issues with you, but Brett needs to mend fences with me and a whole bunch of others he wronged in the past. As far as being closed mind, I am far from it, although I admit I tend to hold grudges little longer than most people. When I was in graduate schoot eons ago this was given in one of the classes. I kept it for all these years not as momento, but a creed I tried hard to subscribe to. Hope you like it as much as I do.

When I was young and free and my mind had no limits,

I dreamed of changing the world.

As I grew older and wiser I discovered that the world would not change.

So I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.

But it too seemed immovable.

As I grew into my twilight years in one desperate attempt

I settled on only my family, those closest to me.

But alas they would have none of it.

And now as I lay on my deathbed, suddenly I realized……

If only I had changed myself first. Then by example I might have

Changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement I would then

have been able to better my country . And who knows…..

….I may have even changed the world.
