The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality.

Getting old does not mean getting dumb, getting conservative, getting complacent, or getting used to spending your days driving a golf cart to early bird dinner specials.



Pope John Paul II:

Capitalism, undisciplined by
morality, will eventually self destruct.


Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have the audacity to believe that people can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don't.

About Me

H Paul Garland
Like the Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor, I went to Austin High in El Paso, Texas. I moved to California right after high school. Graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1971 with honors. Worked on a master's degree, then to avoid going to Vietnam I joined the U.S. Army to be at 3rd Armored Div HQ in Frankfurt, Germany. I was there for almost 3 years. Bicycled and backpacked a lot in the Swiss Alps. Had some good times, saw some of the world, and grew up a little. I went to law school at U.T. Austin for a while, raised a family, got elected to a minor political position in El Paso, had 3 great wives, owned a Corvette then later a Prius, became a scuba diver, got my private pilot's license including multi-engine and instrument ratings, and lived in the Cajun country of Louisiana for a few years. For 15 years I was the general manager for a food procesing company in Europe. I really enjoyed living in Europe. I'm now retired, and to quote from Martin Luther King, I'm finally "free at last, free at last." I've moved out to the wonderful high desert in the Southwestern city of El Paso, Texas USA.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
