The Lone Ranger Creed:
"I believe that to have a friend, a man must be one.
That all men are creasted equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.
That God put the firewood there but that every man must gather and light it himself.
In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.
That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.
That 'This goverment, of the people and for the people shall live always.
That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.
That sooner or later..somewhere..somehow..we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.
That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.
In my Creator, my country, my fellow man"
--The Lone Ranger--
