Philosophy

Pursue our dreams and the experiences we desire with confidence. Do not compromise intelligent & moral vigilance*.  In business & important affairs, strive for reasonable excellence and expect something reasonably similar from Others.  Strive to be considerate, compassionate, and fair, ...but keep big sticks close by.

*...especially toward greedy, selfish, lying, Empire factions who by nature brain-wash and foul souls with alarming success.
