Welcome to ASTEITZ.COM. This site contains very little content intended for consumption by the general public. There are a few things but I mostly use this site to test web design/coding ideas.  

The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.
- Martin Luther King Jr.

The problem is not that there are problems - the problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.
- Theodore Rubin

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer.
You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
- William Boetcker (NOT Abraham Lincoln)

You cannot establish credibility by giving credit where NO credit is due.
- Andrew Steitz (me)
(For those of you who read this page but continue to credit Lincoln for the "cannot" quotes.)

The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
(I added the emphasis. I wish more people would vote the way I do but what is really important is that people know WHY they are voting for whomever they decide to vote. If you don't know WHY you are voting for a specific candidate, DON'T vote, even if you would be voting for "my" candidate. By the way, the candidates political party does not count as knowing "why".)

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
- 2007 Texas A&M University "contemporary term definition" contest

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.
- Lyndon B. Johnson
(In my opinion President Johnson should have said "WHEN improperly administered" since that is how most legislation ends up.)

Don't take life TOO seriously. You'll never get out of it alive.
- Elbert Hubbard (this is not L. Ron Hubbard)
