Honesty
I have talked before about the <acronym title="Endangered Species Act">ESA</acronym> and the the controversy with the <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/index.php?p=354" target="_new">Preble's jumping mouse</a> not being a separate species and maybe being removed from the ESA. I found an interesting article this morning about the biologist <a href="http://www.westword.com/issues/2005-01-20/news/feature_1.html" target="_new">Rob Ramey</a> who made the discovery and some of what…

Hero
I always like stories about people doing heroic things.

Helping Hand

What I do recognize is <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A43082-2004Jul11?language=printer">somebody trying to do something about it</a>. In my mind, Rev.

Determination
Wow, this is a heck of a <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A35423-2004Jun11.html">story</a>. So young, yet so determined to help. Whether the money will help her or not, hopefully it will help somebody down the road. This is what I call a true hero.<br />n<br />n<b>If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things…

Courage
You want a real story about courage and heroism. I found one <a href="http://www.paktribune.com/news/index.php?id=55781">here</a> this morning. I don't know I would be brave enough to do what these two women did but I definitly applaud them for their courage. Looking at it though it is very much like the women of our species. Protect the…
