That post below?

The quoted material -- I see now I neglected to provide the link -- wasn't me. That came from a story about the Pope commenting on the world's current financial crisis, putting things in His perspective so to speak. Worth considering, I thought.*

As is this:

"I believe.....

That to have a friend, a man must be one.

That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.

That God put the firewood there, but that every man must gather and light it himself.

In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.

That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

That 'this government of the people, by the people, and for the people' shall live always.

That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.

That sooner or later...somewhere...somehow...we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.

That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.

In my Creator, my country, my fellow man."

So whose creed might that be? Reid's creed, better know as ... The Lone Ranger. (Hi Ho!)


*But then again, I seemed to be one of the few who thought his words worthy on road rage and the need to be cautious re. the dehumanizing effects high-speed travel and monotonous miles.
