Brad:

I feel very fortunate that there is a place where people of like mind can communicate on a regular basis --- the internet has helped me to realize that there are more of us out there than the opposition cares to admit.

Anyone who is passionate enough to take their own time (no matter how much) and participate in the give and take of a forum like this --- is helping to make this world a better place.

All forms of physical manifestation begin as an idea --- ideas are what we share here.

When I stop for a moment to realize that yes, I have helped people to see things differently --- that makes me feel more accomplished --- than if I was simply out to make shitloads of money. I did that, and I hated every moment. I made great amounts of money, but it didn't mean anything to me at all.

Also --- just on a personal level --- I have noticed in the past two years, that people's opinions of what I am doing has changed quite a bit. I am getting much less negativity. Perhaps people are beginning to understand why I am saying the things I am saying, and perhaps seeing this all play out on the nightly news (which I stopped watching four years ago, and my life is much better for having stopped).

Peace and Prayers,
