heretic

Heretic - herətik - A heretic is one who dissents from an accepted belief or doctrine, nonconformist. Ex: Galileo was condemned as a heretic for supporting Copernicus's thesis that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa. Synonym: dissident - dis·si·dent - disagreeing especially with an established religious or political system, organization, or belief. A dissident, broadly defined, is a person who actively challenges an established doctrine, policy, or institution.

Engineer - enjəˈni(ə)r - An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems. Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost. The word engineer is derived from the Latin roots ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness"). The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human needs and quality of life. In short, engineers are versatile minds who create links between science, technology, and society.

Artist - ärtist - An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to creating art, practicing the arts, and/or demonstrating an art. One who pursues a practical science, traditionally medicine, astrology, alchemy, chemistry. Although the Greek word "techně" is often mistranslated as "art," it actually implies mastery of any sort of craft. The Latin-derived form of the word is "tecnicus", from which the English words technique, technology, technical are derived.

Canary - kəˈne(ə)rē - canary in a coal mine. An allusion to caged canaries (birds) that mining workers would carry down into the mine tunnels with them. If dangerous gases such as methane or carbon monoxide leaked into the mine, the gases would kill the canary before killing the miners, thus providing a warning to exit the tunnels immediately. Something whose sensitivity to adverse conditions makes it a useful early indicator of such conditions; something which warns of the coming of greater danger or trouble by a deterioration in its health or welfare

Fool - fo͞ol - The Fool is the spirit in search of experience. She represents the mystical cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind her represents the divine nature of the Fool's wisdom and exuberance, holy madness or 'crazy wisdom'. In her hand there is a flower, showing her appreciation of beauty. She is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes seen as her animal desires, sometimes as the call of the "real world", nipping at her heels and distracting her. She is seemingly oblivious that she is walking toward a precipice, apparently about to step off. The number 0 is a perfect significator for the Fool, as it can become anything when she reaches her destination as in the sense of 'joker's wild'. Zero plus anything equals the same thing. Zero times anything equals zero. Zero is nothing, a lack of hard substance, and as such it may reflect a non-issue or lack of cohesiveness for the subject at hand.

"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." - Frank Outlaw, Late President of the Bi-Lo Stores

Friends are a mirror you cannot see. As a friend, the light of your soul will overcome any tarnish on the mirror of your life. Perfection is not required. Katherine E. Lightsey

" You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And if three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement. Arlo Guthrie
