Axioms

Commenting on a friend's blog tonight, I found myself suddenly spouting axioms like a cliche fountain. I think I thought I was some kind of guru. But I found myself desiring to broadcast my code of life to the world (via my blog with a readership of 5+or-2 loyal family and friends). Thus, these are some of the beliefs that govern the way I live and interact with others. In no particular order:

Axioms
