just don't starve yourself too far. One of the reasons that Gandhi was so successful is that he was a good speaker, inspiring. From your writings and following I would say that you are as well. Your second hunger strike might meet with success - but not if you aren't well enough to get the message out and to get a little coverage.

I tip my hat - but I don't think I could ever go on a hunger strike because to me it would just seem bizarre to do it intentionally, even for the sake of my beliefs. I've been hungry before, hungry enough to not much care where my next meal came from or what I had to do to get it. It's not a position I ever want to be in again.
