    As I sit here today as a catholic, and seeing so many issues go through(Obama just stupidly going against the catholic church and rick santorum wanting to toss cookies over JFK's speech and able to see pass the one dimension of religion). I can not help but say the greatest quote I stand by.


    Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.-JFK



    God has made us in his image. Since god can solve god's problem so too must the image of God follow that path.-me!
