The Change Agent's Creed:

Just ran across this on the intertubes and I like it.

Change Agent's Creed:
We hold these truths to be self-evident:


One man's belief is another man's tyranny
Faith is an individual practice not a community activity
Wealth acquired by subterfuge is theft
No man is an island, ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee
"We" are more powerful than "I"
None of us is as smart as all of us
Tomorrow can take care of itself. It's today upon which we must focus
Live simply, stay out of debt, save a lot, be happy and free
No idea is sacred
There is no fulfillment in life without love
Keep the peace by telling the truth
Artists are the conscience of a culture
Mother Earth must be protected from corporate marauders
Act as if, think as if, believe
Tomorrow is always another day
We can eat an elephant one bite at a time
War is hell
Greed is greed and not a virtue
What comes around, goes around
I am my brother's and sister's keeper
Hell is the hole in the ground where they put your dead body; life is heaven
