Next to my father, the only other man I looked up to when growing up was The Lone Ranger. Silver bullets, a black mask, a white horse and Tonto mean more in the maturity of my adulthood than they did in my childhood, but I always had an appreciation for them (even when I was not totally sure what I was celebrating). Webster defines a manifesto as “A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions, especially of a political nature.” If you would indulge me, I would like to explain and evangelize what I call “The Lone Ranger Manifesto” with the hope that it becomes not just a series of amusing observations, but a moral template to live by. | Resources related to this podcast can be found here: https://bit.ly/ThingsIThinkAbout4  / Special thanks to my sponsor - Black History Quiz!Subscribe to the Black History Quiz newsletter now! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/bhq/--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/support
