Yes, Bruce. I think that what you are all doing is enormously constructive. I know that there have been times in the past two years when I have had to channel my anger toward something other than a fellow human. I took on a local newspaper which got me into a bit of trouble, but so what.....I was right, and they knew it. It felt really good to be really emotionally committed to a cause I believed in. Don't give a blink to the future. Hang in there. What you're doing is fantastic. Keep it up.
