One of my favorite movie scenes

[Erik Bellar]

of all time. It states as close to perfection my feelings, thoughts, and ideals... at least far better than I could express them myself. So this video, is sort of an introduction of myself to this forum, and a fairly accurate summary of my values. I want to thank the owners of this forum for allowing me to join you in what I consider the most important conversations ever to occur in history of the world... the genesis of a global village of concerned citizens... us. Over time, I hope to get to know you all... and to share your feelings, thoughts, and ideals around this global camp fire.
The Great Dictator Speech - Charlie Chaplin

Thanks for the kind words Erik.
And welcome to DPF!

Indeed, we are the universe aware of it self... conscious of it's own existence... awareness of self... stardust consisting entirely of energy... toward the sublime miracle of life - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYuXUqAIZgI
