Favorite Quotations:<br />
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.<br />
Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed)<br />
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)<br />

&quot;When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.&quot; - Gary Lloyd<br />
About Me:Let's see I lived in my RV for over a year, love fishing, kayaking, bicycling, firearms and support the Constitution and am very pro-2nd ammendment...and just to completely throw a wrench in, I care deeply about connection from the heart and peace (through strength of course).<br />
<br />
Let's see... I have a great career in anesthesiology but that doesn't define me. Great adult kids and that doesn't either, (or the 2 divorces!). Judy and I are doing great and have decided to try this love and marriage thing again praise God!<br />
I have been called a self-help kinda guy. I have done a lot of personal growth work and play, and I have been a member and leader in several different men's movement organizations. I often use those tools to move forward and sometimes I choose not use them too...I have just become a Mason and look forward to serving in this great organization!<br />
It's hard to place me onto well-trodden paths to which many men travel. I have been known to blow on the trumpet, and now I have stopped learning the guitar, maybe bagpipes! I am neither conservative, nor liberal yet I am passionate about the issues at hand. I believe that this country is deeply entrenched in learned helplessness to which our government has perpetuated by bastardizing the constitution.<br />
I have a deep relationship with my Creator (who I call Lord, God Jesus Christ, among the top of the list) and yet that includes acceptance of most beliefs. I have a love and respect for nature and have been known to crawl in and out of an indian sweat lodge several times a year (my church mostly).<br />
I enjoy sports (football, baseball, ice hockey, Nascar but they don't consume me. I believe compassion, passion, honesty, balance, fun, and peace are good qualities. I stay away from the uppity and pretentious and think being down to earth and authentic are more my style. I'm more country than city and have the makings to be somewhat of a redneck. Despite my redneckedness, I am a deep thinker yet can access my heart and emotions to move through life. Fun and play are important to me and sometimes seem so elusive!<br />
