Dear Ms. Rhonda J. Bays, Thank you for taking the time to write your thoughts, Ms. Bays! I finished the transcription for your post. :) I am glad to hear that you are maintaining a healthier weight and have also set the goal to write each Sunday. Good luck! I send you condolences about your friend Ely. I will pray for her soul, and of course I am praying for you and your health. I hope that you and your fellow inmates will stay safe and healthy during these uncertain times. I am a college student and many of my peers and I are thinking about you and praying for you and your loved ones. Do not lose hope--you are not alone! Most sincerely, Athena
I enjoyed the parallels that you drew with other historical eras. I am also very frustrated with the election and it was nice to hear a fresh perspective from someone who agreed with me.
I finished the transcription for your post so that others can read it.
I wonder if the thinking person might decide that allowing voting rights for 17 year olds would be acceptable ...with parental consent.
In California I believe you can join the military at 17 with parental consent. There is no minimum age for marriage. That therefore means if you marry (with parental consent) you may legally do something with your wife that would be illegal if she was your girlfriend???? If you wanted to relax and have a cigarette, that would be ok as long as you are 21, (with or without your wife) but if you are serving military then you can take that cigarette break at 18. Of course you can't display your affection for anything in your life with alcohol in public unless you are over the age of 21, but as long as you are supervised by a person over the age of 21 you can feed a rum and coke to anyone who wants one behind closed doors. I think what i'm trying to say, is the more States and countries try and regulate human behavior, the more ridiculous those regulations appear to be. best to set a universal age of consent for everything and be done with it!
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I also wanted to say that I really hope you feel better soon and I am wishing you all of the best in there.
Romondo is a sucker bro, keep ya head high my guy, better days will come. I remember empty bottles on your dresser from all the 40'z we would throw back, the weight bench in the middle of the room we would see who could lift da most lol. Standing outside wit you on Ralph n Snyder when Meyer Levin and Tilden let out. It was lit boy. Miss those days. Stay strong
Mr Harris. It’s almost a sort of mental gentrification. People seems to quickly forget, or develop amnesia about their previous life, and seem to be tone deaf about the lives of others. Nipsey Hussle didn’t, and he paid with his life. Ice Cube comments on something a few months ago on Twitter. It was regarding some faction in Africa. He asked people to fill him in about it. And I thought to myself, why is he sitting on his rich fat arse, in a mansion, asking people on the internet to do his research for him. This is the sort of prevarication you get with celebrities. Some of them attach themselves like ticks to causes they have no idea about, but hope it will inflate 5eir careers and their follower numbers. There are no people in the front of civil rights. The civil rights movement froze and died in 1969 wi5 the deaths of the two Kennedy Brothers, Malcolm X, Dr King, and the implosion of the Black a panther movement. Good news is Hollywood is dying. The big studios are reluctant to put their money into different projects. They fire their money, like bullets, at the Marvel DC universe. Netflix, Amazon, make more daring productions and Dog Woof, another company that makes outstanding documentaries. They are attempting to take Rap away from black people and make it Disneyfied for a white audience. But saying that, there is, in my opinion, a lot of crap out here. The soundcloud mumble rappers, 69, even Drake. Over produced vapid nothingness. Or, as Wendy Williams would say, ‘A big hot cup of steaming nothing’! Rap has a history. And it has a future. It is a genre and not a trend. Wu Tang and Gravel Pit. Busta Rhymes Gimmee some more, Kanye Jesus Walks. These tunes stand the test of time. They don’t age, and never will. All the best. T
