He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid o f the power to love. There is some good in the worst o f us and some evil in the best o f us.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Martin Luther King, Jr. Quality of life doesn't mean much if you don't have a job. In times of economic challenge, livability starts with family wage jobs, reliable ways to get to work and housing that's affordable.
