I define growth the same as I define evolution. I believe that revolution is a necessary battle that very few people fight, let alone face, as their faces are being manipulated through images of propaganda. I believe in truth and lies yet I still debate on what truth is truth, because one man's truth is based off of another man's lies in acts of controlling our lives. I believe it's possible to love something or someone enough to inflict pain on yourself, if not there would be no victims of abuse in an abusive relationship, or addicts giving the bodies of an innocent child or their own to a pusher of any kind for their next fix.... or an activist that can dedicate his/her life in the hopes that we might be spared the pain and struggle that he/she was faced with. I feel that the acceptance of fallacies is what makes the reality that I possess and convey complex.... So therefore the message that I try to get across at times gets lost in translation from my mouth to peoples ears and like my intentions, I am MISUNDERSTOOD... Simply stated you must know who you are to know who you can be

Thom Pickens North Florida Officials Association Secretary Without Football Rules: Simply Stated I would not be the official that I am today. Having played, I thought that I knew everything there was, however, McPhilomy showed me a complete new world. The author’s ability to phrase the rules so that they can be learned quickly and easily is unmatched from other works that I have read. It is Simply Stated that gave me the keys to be a successful official, working high school ball, and built my rules knowledge foundation as I move up to the college ranks. I also use Simply Stated to train new high school officials. I highly recommend Simply Stated for any official or fan who wants a clear and concise view on the rule and how it should be interpreted. I use Simply Stated as the basis for my high school rules study every year, and will for years to come.
