Martin Luther King Jr. Milton Friedman. Thomas Paine. Malcolm X. Reginald Lewis. Harriet Tubman. John F. Kennedy.
Constructive change. Positive results. Improvement of Liberty.
McDonald’s. I LOVED it. Primarily because I felt a part of something. I was responsible for feeding folks. That puts team work in perspective. You do your part bad, people go hungry. Seems simple enough, but it’s a big deal.
I don’t celebrate holidays. I assist others in celebrating them. I’m a public servant and a father, we put others above self:
The autobiography of Malcolm X. It showed someone who came from nothing and under massive attack who changed not only the world, but himself.
Superman. We could get rid of crime in a week.
Promiscuity in my younger years. Women are BEAUTIFUL.
The ability to listen and know that when your in this position, you lose your voice. You speak for THE PEOPLE, not yourself.
Every time there’s a vote on issues, we have to collectively work together to address it as well as account for the individuals liberty. That’s a nuanced and balanced job to make that happen.
No. I believe you have to have experience with the people you are going to be serving.
