29. Thank you for a coherent and logical explanation.

I'm always surprised by how much can be gained by simply being logical. Many are emotional about these topics. I have refused to "become acclimated". What a great way of putting it. Everyone I know has refused. What an amazing description of Rubin's lockup story and refusal to become a number. There's so much to discuss, without confining it to the race at hand.

It's funny how I just knew Sanders was the one. Without knowing what it was, I knew he hadn't bought in to the system.

You may recall I mentioned a close friend, Jim. One of his best friends started Scared Straight. I'll have to talk with Jim to get the details. If I recall, he robbed a bank, for some weird reason, and eventually was pardoned by the governor. I'll have to confirm that, but we've talked a lot about this over the years.
