I would like to dedicate this page to several people who have all had major impacts on my life, though only one of them has lived into my lifetime:

John Lennon, for teaching me not to hate,

Martin Luther King Jr., for teaching me to accept all races,

Gandhi, for teaching me to disagree peacefully,

and, of course, J.R.R. Tolkien for teaching me to love nature more than anything made by the hands of men.

And also, to my biggest inspiration: I think you know who you are, and if by some chance you should ever see this page, thank you for what you have done.
