About the name change, see MrFlames' essay.

Okay for a while now I have been meaning to update this. Well, I still don't have a real good bio, but I've decided that I will just leave the quotes because these people say what I am thinking (and they say it better than I can.)

Favorite Quotes:

"Let them hate, so long as they fear."

-Lucius Accius (if someone thinks it was someone else, let me know, because I think he may have stolen this from someone else)

"Any man that has not found something he is willing to die for is not fit to live."

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.
He answered by saying that, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."
It became very quiet in the room.

"A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not only the flag, but the Nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads cheifly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that set it forth."

-Henry Ward Beecher

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

-Edmund Burke

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing be cares about more than his personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

-John Stuart Mill

"Can we be sure that terrorism and weapons of mass destruction will join together? Let us say one thing: If we are wrong, we will have destroyed a threat that at its least is responsible for inhuman carnage and suffering. That is something I am confident history will forgive.
But if our critics are wrong, if we are right, as I believe with every fiber of instinct and conviction I have that we are, and we do not act, then we will have hesitated in the face of this menace when we should have given leadership. That is something history will not forgive."

-Prime Minister Tony Blair.
If there was enough room I would put his entire speech on here. It was an amazing speech given by an amazing man. Prime Minister Blair is the greatest British leader since Winston Churchill. He's having a tough time over in his own country, and I hope they will come around to see that he is not doing anything to be President Bush's "lap dog". He is doing what he truely believes is the right thing.

"The soldier above all others prays for peace... I truly believe the soldier is one of the world's noblest figures. Always there echoes in my mind: Duty, Honor, Country. Therefore, I will do my duty as GOD has given me light to see. I'll be back in 2004."

-Paul Kimbrough, an Army Reservist wrote that in June before he was shipped out. He died recently in Afaganistan on his way to Turkey.

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, under go the fatigue of supporting it."

? Thomas Paine, The American Crisis

*And here of some words of praise (although I'm not sure if they were meant that way) from MrFlame, about yours truly. If you havne't read his essay, go do it now. I don't often advocate going to read other works other than my own, especailly in my own bio, but here I'll make an exception. ANyway, here's what MrFlame had to say about the great HNMN:
Hnmn: One of the key commanders in the Army of Conservatives, he has lead a few key strikes against Liberalism, but has been far more important in assisting other members in his fleet. His assistance has lead to several key victories.
