Dear Friend, I'm in receipt of your very interesting and enlightening note. First of all, I'd like to just thank you for having an interest in what I have to say. More than that, I would also like to thank you for being a concerned human being - thank you!
The reason for delay was there was a mix-up in location. So, I actually got your comments 3 days late. Hopefully, this has been squared away, and won't repeat. I think that you have an awesome outlook on life. And I also know, that to a great degree, the Gov. does brain wash the people. And while there is definitely a need for government, it must be a non-corrupt and just government. Do you agree? In this manner I think that the overall mind-set of society can and will stay healthy.
You mentioned marijuana. Here in the U.S. it is STILL illegal and they've been putting people in prison for your position on the subject. Yes. I believe it is a waste of tax payers' money to lock some one up for its use. Did you know that many, many years ago, before the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans used marijuana as a healer or a medicine? I am of the opinion that marijuana is NOT a narcotic.
So, you are pursuing degrees in women's studies and psychology? That's very good. We need more and more educated women in the world. Why? Because I think if we let women lead it will be MORE LOVE, LESS WARS. I really believe that. I heard about that riot. I thought it was kind of a sign of what's on the minds of all N/Amrs. You really caught my attention when you said humanity is failing you. Sometimes I feel that humanity needs to go back to our spiritual aspects. Why do you believe humanity is failing you? And you believe that bad choices are a result of past experiences and or mental disorder. Hmmm... That's something I will be pondering. Your guess is correct. I do get bored at times. I think that it is a natural occurrence of the mind. Especially in an incarcerated environment. And yes, again. I am a relatively quiet, and thoughtful man. Have you ever heard of the phenomenal women's revolutionary book, BUT SOME OF US ARE BRAVE?
