"Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings."
(Andre Gide)

My Hero!


A 10-year-old Arkansas boy, Will Phillips, has decided that he cannot in good conscience pledge allegiance to the flag as long as the country for which it stands refuses legal equality to its  gay & lesbian citizens. Good on you Will! (though of course he almost certainly have the FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, etc, closely monitoring him for life as a Commie).
