"'A politician thinks about the next elections — the statesman thinks about the next generations.'-James Freeman Clarke"

I am a University Student who will freely admit that he has very little in the way of free time or a life. I'm generally thought of as a "nice guy" and have (apparently) developed a reputation of a strong work ethic. I'm currently studying at Carleton University in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, majoring in International Politics and History.

Writers and Thinkers
''It is the thinkers, the writers, the philosophers, and the critics who keep us thinking. It is they who ensure that we are never too complacent, never too uncaring, never too indifferent to the massive quantities of global suffering often wrought by our own actions. It is they who challenge the system, who stare absolute power and tyranny in the face and refuse to do what it tells them to, who tell us what we need to hear rather than what we want to hear, who ensure that we are never lured into complacency by those with power, be they democrat or republican; conservative or liberal; capitalist or socialist or anarchist; who are truly deserving of our respect and our admiration. It is the thinkers of the world who truly change the world.''
