About Me

Describe Yourself:

I'm an optimist who knows better.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

Ideas and solutions. I'd like to figure out how those who GATHER on the Internet (which I've been working on since '94) can actually ACTIVATE each other into MAKING PROGRESS on REAL ISSUES affecting the human race, rather than ONLY talking about it.

I think in American society, there is plenty of talk, not enough action.

Can we make a difference? Sure. Many hands make light work.

Interests

Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:

I probably like what you like. , The only music I have to switch off is hip-hop, when it gets vulgar. To each his or her own, but I'm not into that.
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:

I like authors who spend their time sharing their talents with others. That's the true sign of a leader., Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Hancock (for his signature-it's the best logo in the world);, William Brownfield (author of the Jaycee Creed), Pastor Rick Warren, John Maxwell, Marcus Buckingham & Curt Coffman, Steven Covey - Oh, I could go on.

All the Tom Clancy Films, Pay it Forward, It's a Wonderful Life, the Sting, Let it Ride, Dances With Wolves, Snatch, Raiders and yes--Caddyshack, Stripes., Oh, and Spaceballs too. Mel Brooks, I love you.
Favorite TV Shows, Actors:

The Original Monday Night Football with Howard Cossell, Dandy Don and Frank Gifford, American Idol (it's about talent, and they've got guts)

John;

As a conservative I invite you to come into my gather site to join the conversation, with your comments on my articles with attached political cartoons.

If you are a Romney supporter he is still in on the ballot. If we as conservatives stick with Romney even though he is in suspended he does plan on getting back in. He still has more delegates than Huckabee. If we stick with Romney and still vote in the primary for him we could take it to the Republican national convention.
If you click on my Reagan Icon and go to top of my articles all of which have cartoons attached to them- let me know your opinion, and comments.
If you like go to Mitt Romney's site which is www.mittromney.com

Hope to hear from you;

Carol L.
