Personal Philosophy: We are so few generations away from common parents. The resources of the Earth are the common heritage of all the Earth's people - they should not be withheld in ownership or for profit. Ownership is a burden and we are richer when we share. Life is a gift, not to be wasted on acquisition and accumulation, but to be celebrated in community and the common expression of love, as in a family. A human family.
