collegekid,

It's always good to hear from you, no matter how late the hour. Your thoughtfulness touches my heart, especially in the world we live in today where everyone is in survivor mode. We don't have the luxury to think or care for another human being.

This broken system has been patched up with chewing gum & spit. We know the answers that'll fix the system, it's just that we're too lazy to take that stand. It's the political climate's imitation of the "Jerry Springer Show" distracting us from the issues and the job that needs to get done.

The System is overburdened & out dated because too much gets put on the back burner, which leaves a big mess (like today) for the next generation. Affordable health care, raising the minimum wage & quality education is a good start, but the real root of the problem is the American spirit. Speaking for myself, I feel hopeless sometimes. Everyone around me are looking for shortcuts & instant gratification; hard work is frowned upon. And because of this, I'm getting stepped on so they can get ahead. I've been trapped in a vicious cycle of tyrannicide.

I've been down in the dumps for a while now. My legal situation has been on pause for far too long. I'm sitting on my hands while many other cases are being granted relief. Six prisoners has had their sentences reduced and are out in population. Two even went home!! It's the holidays and I miss my family. I'm tired of just surviving; I want to enjoy living as well. I'm still making the most out of my existence though. I know it'll get better.

I hope the internships work out for you. Don't let this broken system discourage you.

Thanks for caring,

Daniel Gwynn
