Once upon a time Lauren sent me a quote that she had seen posted someplace else that is credited to Tom Robbins. I love Tom Robbins, and the quote is basically my mission statement.

"If you believe in peace, act peacefully; if you believe in love, acting lovingly; if you believe every which way, then act every which way, that's perfectly valid— but don't go out trying to sell your beliefs to the system. You end up contradicting what you profess to believe in, and you set a bum example. If you want to change the world, change yourself."
