<h2><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Two- Headed Dragon In A Human&#8217;s Body</span></h2>
<p>I was born in June of 1964, in the Year of the Wood Dragon, and I have been very proud of being a dragon my whole life.</p>
<p>When I was very young I believed I was a dragon (also &#8220;The Kid From Next-Door&#8221; and a few others), so I asked my mom to help me find a book at the library that would show me how to be a good dragon. I grew up in a house filled with books and book-shelves which has instilled a lifelong belief that there&#8217;s probably a book about anything, somewhere, and if you just look for it long enough, you&#8217;ll find it.</p>
<p>I remember that after some searching we eventually found one, but I don&#8217;t recall it&#8217;s name anymore. I think it was something like &#8220;How To Be A Dragon&#8221; or &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Handbook-Barbara-Rinkoff/dp/B000FPW0OO" target="_blank">The Dragon Handbook</a>&#8220;&#8230;</p>
<p>Besides being born in the Year of the Dragon, I was born in June, with all my houses in Gemini, so, as I see myself, I am a twin dragon or a two-headed wood dragon &#8211; a special kind of dragon indeed.</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>More Dragon Information</strong></span></h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s some information I found googling &#8220;Year of the Dragon&#8221; &#8211; the source is a bridal guide, the Chinese horoscope section: <a title="Chinese Horoscope - Dragon" href="http://www.usbridalguide.com/special/chinesehoroscopes/Dragon.htm" target="_blank">http://www.usbridalguide.com/special/chinesehoroscopes/Dragon.htm</a></p>
<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Dragon</strong></span></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. A symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Oriental Dragon is regarded as a divine beast &#8211; the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to find and slay. In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority. Therefore, those people born in Dragon years are to be honored and respected.</p>
<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Sign of the Dragon</strong></span></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The key to the Dragon personality is that Dragons are the free spirits of the Zodiac. Conformation is a Dragon&#8217;s curse. Rules and regulations are made for other people. Restrictions blow out the creative spark that is ready to flame into life. Dragons must be free and uninhibited. The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale &#8211; big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn&#8217;t meant for show. Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful. Dragons usually make it to the top. However, Dragon people be aware of their natures. Too much enthusiasm can leave them tired and unfulfilled. Even though they are willing to aid when necessary, their pride can often impede them from accepting the same kind of help from others. Dragons&#8217; generous personalities give them the ability to attract friends, but they can be rather solitary people at heart. A Dragon&#8217;s self-sufficiency can mean that he or she has no need for close bonds with other people.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;" align="center"><strong>IN YOUR ELEMENT</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The characteristics of the Dragon Sign are tempered by one of the five Chinese elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics on the original 12-year cycle.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;" align="JUSTIFY"><strong>THE METAL DRAGON 1940 AND 2000</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Truthful but extreme, courageous but unyielding, Metal Dragons have a strength similar to the Dragon fire. Metal Dragons succeed through determination. They are mighty and respect people who stand up to them. In troubled times, these Dragons make great allies, but become ferocious challengers. Metal Dragons can often calm others through their forceful personalities. They seek action, and things are never better than when they are defending a thought or belief about which they have complete faith. Metal Dragons like to lead, and have an affect that makes others want to follow them. Yet even if they attract no support they will fight alone.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;" align="JUSTIFY"><strong>THE WATER DRAGON 1952 AND 2012 [This Year]</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Water has a calming effect on the Dragon&#8217;s fearless temperament. Water allows the Dragon to re-direct its enthusiasm, and makes him more perceptive of others. These Dragons are better equipped to take a step back to re-evaluate a situation because they understand the art of patience and do not desire the spotlight like other Dragons. Therefore, they make smart decisions and are able to see eye-to-eye with other people. However, their actions can go wrong if they do not research or if they do not finish one project before starting another.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;" align="JUSTIFY"><strong>THE WOOD DRAGON 1904 AND 1964 [Me]</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Wood has a modifying influence and brings creativity to this sign. Questioning and liberal, Wood Dragons enjoy talking about original ideas and are open to other points of view. They are innovative, imaginative practical and appreciate art in each of its forms. Generally less pretentious than other Dragons, Wood Dragons have an ability to get along with other people. They have the essentials to build a prosperous and happy life for themselves. Still, Wood Dragons are outspoken and at times a bit pushy to quell everyone, even in the most friendly quarrel.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;" align="JUSTIFY"><strong>THE FIRE DRAGON 1916 AND 1976</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Fire Dragon is a powerful force to be reckoned with. This is a Dragon doubled! The Fire Dragon can move from calm and collected to combustible in a matter of seconds. In some ways the Fire Dragon is his or her own worst enemy. These Dragons cannot help feeling they are valuable and all-knowing. When they are right their vehemence and vigor is an asset to the cause, and though they value objectivity, they do not always employ the best decision-making measures, and sometimes jump to the wrong conclusion. They also suffer from recklessness and quick tempers. Yet, when they do keep their temper, emotions, and rivaling spirit under control, they emanate a commanding influence on other people.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;" align="JUSTIFY"><strong>THE EARTH DRAGON 1928 AND 1988</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Earth Dragons make great managers because they are practical, levelheaded and demonstrate a knack for organizing. They still have the need to dictate and be admired, but they are affable, congenial and supportive. Compared to other Dragons, Earth Dragons are less likely to breathe fire at the least irritation. They will work diligently to complete their life goals. The Earth element adds a greater portion of self-control to the Dragon&#8217;s personality and usually the Earth Dragon is deserving of the respect he or she desires. These Dragons take their life and romantic responsibilities quite seriously.</p>

<h2><span style="font-size: x-large;">Various Dragon Postings</span></h2>
<p>If you spend much time on my website you&#8217;ll find I make references to dragons quite often because it&#8217;s such a strong part of my self-image. Here&#8217;s a few links to a few stories from the past couple of years:</p>

<p>During the long life of the Phoenix it builds a nest of great riches, fine spices and priceless jewels, and there it produces the Egg of Empires&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<p>This has been my favorite spoon for about 25 years now. It was Tania&#8217;s spoon, but I adopted it as my own soon after we started to live together back in 1987.</p>
<p>Tania got it when she was a little girl, flying back to Minneapolis with her parents, as they did every year when she was young.</p>
<p>This was back in the day when they still gave away &#8220;wing pins&#8221; to kids when they flew, free decks of playing cards, and real stainless steel knives, forks and spoons &#8211; truly a different time.</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The D.B Cooper Tie-in&#8230;</strong></span></h2>
<p>I was watching a show the other day on D.B. Cooper, the American sky pirate who pulled off the only unsolved airline hijacking in U.S. history. This crime was committed in 1971 and the F.B.I. still has the case open.</p>
<p>Watching the show I learned that the flight D.B. Cooper hijacked was a Northwest Orient 727 &#8211; and I thought to myself, &#8220;Northwest Orient? My favorite spoon is a Northwest Orient spoon&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>A little investigation online and I learned that my favorite spoon is called &#8220;Northwest Orient 01 00105&#8243; and is from the same era as the D.B. Cooper story.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="font-size: large;">The D.B. Cooper Story</span></strong></h2>
<p>From Wikipedia (edited): <a title="Wikipedia - D.B.Cooper" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper</a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4326" title="220px-DBCooper" src="http://onehumanbeing.com/central/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/220px-DBCooper.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="261" />D. B. Cooper</strong> is the name popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington on November 24, 1971. He extorted $200,000 in ransom and parachuted to an uncertain fate. Despite an extensive manhunt and an exhaustive (and ongoing) FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified. The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The suspect purchased his airline ticket under the alias <strong>Dan Cooper</strong>, but due to a news media miscommunication he became known in popular lore as &#8220;D. B. Cooper.&#8221; Hundreds of leads have been pursued in the ensuing years but no conclusive evidence has ever surfaced regarding Cooper&#8217;s true identity or whereabouts, and the bulk of the ransom money has never been recovered. Numerous theories of widely varying plausibility have been proposed by experts, reporters, and amateur enthusiasts.</p>
<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Hijacking</strong></span></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The event began mid-afternoon on Thanksgiving eve, November 24, 1971, at Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon. A man carrying a black attaché case approached the flight counter of Northwest Orient Airlines. He identified himself as &#8220;Dan Cooper&#8221; and purchased a one-way ticket on Flight 305, a 30-minute trip to Seattle, Washington.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Cooper boarded the aircraft, a Boeing 727–100 (FAA registration N467US), and took seat 18C in the rear of the passenger cabin. He lit a cigarette and ordered a bourbon and soda. Onboard eyewitnesses recalled a man in his mid-forties, between 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) and 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) tall. He wore a black lightweight raincoat, loafers, a dark suit, a neatly pressed white collared shirt, a black necktie, and a mother of pearl tie pin.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Flight 305, approximately one-third full, took off on schedule at 2:50 pm, local time (PST). Cooper passed a note to Florence Schaffner, the flight attendant situated nearest to him in a jumpseat attached to the aft stair door. Schaffner, assuming the note contained a lonely businessman&#8217;s phone number, dropped it unopened into her purse. Cooper leaned toward her and whispered, &#8220;Miss, you&#8217;d better look at that note. I have a bomb.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The note was printed in neat, all-capital letters with a felt pen. It read, approximately, &#8220;<strong>I have a bomb in my briefcase. I will use it if necessary. I want you to sit next to me. You are being hijacked.</strong>&#8221; Schaffner did as requested, then quietly asked to see the bomb. Cooper cracked open his briefcase long enough for her to glimpse eight red cylinders(&#8220;four on top of four&#8221;) attached to wires coated with red insulation, and a large cylindrical battery.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">After closing the case he dictated his demands: $200,000 in &#8220;negotiable American currency&#8221;; four parachutes (two primary and two reserve); and a fuel truck standing by in Seattle to refuel the aircraft upon arrival. Schaffner conveyed Cooper&#8217;s instructions to the cockpit; when she returned he was wearing dark sunglasses.</p>
<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Real Gentleman&#8230;</strong></span></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">[Flight Attendant] Schaffner described him as calm, polite, and well-spoken, not at all consistent with the stereotypes (enraged, hardened criminals or &#8220;take-me-to-Cuba&#8221; political dissidents) popularly associated with air piracy at the time.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Tina Mucklow, another flight attendant, agreed. &#8220;He wasn&#8217;t nervous,&#8221; she told investigators later. &#8220;He seemed rather nice. He was never cruel or nasty. He was thoughtful and calm all the time.&#8221; He ordered a second bourbon and water, paid his drink tab (and insisted Schaffner keep the change), and offered to request meals for the flight crew during the stop in Seattle.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> An FAA official requested a face-to-face meeting with Cooper aboard the aircraft [in Seattle], which was denied.The refueling process was delayed, reportedly due to a vapor lock in the fuel tanker truck&#8217;s pumping mechanism, and Cooper became suspicious. However, he allowed a replacement tanker truck to continue the refueling—and a third one after that, when the second ran dry. By the time Cooper finished inspecting the ransom money and parachutes, refueling had been completed.</p>
<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>D.B. Cooper Has Left The Plane</strong></span></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">At approximately 7:40 pm the 727 took off with only Cooper, pilot Scott, flight attendant Mucklow, copilot Rataczak, and flight engineer H.E. Anderson aboard. Two F-106 fighter aircraft scrambled from nearby McChord Air Force Base followed behind the airliner, one above it and one below, out of Cooper&#8217;s view.A Lockheed T-33 trainer, diverted from an unrelated Air National Guard mission, also shadowed the 727 until it ran low on fuel and turned back near the Oregon-California border.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">After takeoff, Cooper told Mucklow to join the rest of the crew in the cockpit and remain there with the door closed. As she complied, Mucklow observed Cooper tying something around his waist. At approximately 8:00 pm a warning light flashed in the cockpit, indicating that the aft airstair apparatus had been activated. The crew&#8217;s offer of assistance via the aircraft&#8217;s intercom system was curtly refused. The crew soon noticed a subjective change of air pressure, indicating that the aft door was open.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">At approximately 8:13 pm the aircraft&#8217;s tail section sustained a sudden upward movement, significant enough to require trimming to bring the plane back to level flight. At approximately 10:15 pm, Scott and Rataczak landed the 727, with the aft airstair still deployed, at Reno Airport. FBI agents, state troopers, sheriff&#8217;s deputies, and Reno police surrounded the jet, as it had not yet been determined with certainty that Cooper was no longer aboard; but an armed search quickly confirmed that he was gone.</p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Meanwhile, Back At My Spoon&#8230;</span></strong></h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4330" title="Northwest-orient-spoon-in-coffee" src="http://onehumanbeing.com/central/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Northwest-orient-spoon-in-coffee.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my favorite spoon now, being used tonight to stir it&#8217;s 10,000th (that might not be an exaggeration) cup of coffee. And while drinking my coffee, I&#8217;ll do a little speculating into the fictional future&#8230;</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Mad Men &#8211; Season 11</strong></span></h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4333" title="2012-01-18-madmen" src="http://onehumanbeing.com/central/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/2012-01-18-madmen-329x500.jpg" alt="" width="329" height="500" />In season 11 (which would take place during the year 1971) Don Draper, the lead character, decides to complete his plan of running away, and comes up with a dare-devil hijacking scheme.</p>
<p>After carefully hiding all the money he&#8217;s been storing up, he flies to Portland where he boards a plane under the alias of Dan Cooper (Dan because it&#8217;s close to Don and Cooper because of his partner at Sterling Cooper.)</p>
<p>The episode would then follow the traditional &#8220;D.B. Cooper&#8221; story line until the very end, where D.B./Dan/Don jumps &#8211; and then it cuts to the falling image of Don Draper they&#8217;ve been using during the opening credits since the beginning of the show, and is being used for the poster for the upcoming season 5&#8230;</p>
<p><em>The End</em></p>
<p>PS. Mad Men &#8211; Season 5 starts on March 25th!</p>

<h2><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>An Introduction</strong></span></h2>
<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-4300" title="lastofthelateafternoonlight-300px" src="http://onehumanbeing.com/central/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lastofthelateafternoonlight-300px.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></p>
<p>Since 2007 I&#8217;ve been a member of a number of different collectives in Long Beach.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve volunteered, built websites, taken photos of over 300 different strains of medical marijuana, and grown to care about a number of incredible people.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also watched one collective after another crumble under the burden of legal fees, changing city regulations and other costs associated with always having to fight to stay open&#8230;</p>
<p>My personal history with medical marijuana goes back much further than that however, back to when I first started using marijuana in 1983.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve spent a lot of years watching the medical marijuana story get to where we are today, and in this series I share my motivation for being an activist, talk about being a collective member, and about my own medical use of marijuana.</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s this &#8211; <em>RIGHT NOW</em>, in Long Beach, our collectives are facing the prospect of having our city council ban them on Tuesday evening, and all my thinking about this has given me the talking medical marijuana blues &#8211; Enjoy!</p>

<p>&#8220;There was a time, not very long ago, when I would often have to wait for days, sometimes a week to get my medicine. Sometimes nothing would be available from the few friends I knew, who knew a friend, who knew a friend who could get marijuana for them&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I wasn’t diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder until I was 33 years old. This revelation – that there was a medical reason, of some kind, behind my most confusing moods and actions – caused a paradigm shift that made me look back over my life through a new perspective&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Rev. Martin Luther King stated over 40 years ago in a speech that “the arc of the moral Universe is long, but it’s bent towards Justice…”</p>
<p>During my long, personal civil rights march towards medical marijuana justice I’ve seen that this statement is true, just as I also believe that one day &#8216;we shall overcome!&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<p>Rev. Martin Luther King stated over 40 years ago in a speech that &#8220;the arc of the moral Universe is long, but it&#8217;s bent towards Justice&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>During my long, personal civil rights march towards medical marijuana justice I&#8217;ve seen that this statement is true, just as I also believe that one day &#8220;we shall overcome!&#8221;</p>
<p>My heart can not be moved from the fact that our cause is morally right, and that we, as a people, are constantly making progress in that march towards freedom and justice.</p>
<p>I know we will prevail, if not today, then tomorrow&#8230;</p>
<h2>Long Beach &#8211; Right Now &#8211; Stop The Ban</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4290" title="stop-the-ban" src="http://onehumanbeing.com/central/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/stop-the-ban.gif" alt="" width="600" height="105" /></p>
<p>From an<a title="Americans For Safe Access" href="http://www.safeaccessnow.org/" target="_blank"><strong> Americans For Safe Access</strong></a> email I got today:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Long Beach City Council will consider a ban on medical cannabis patients’ associations in the city at tomorrow’s meeting. Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is calling on patients and advocates to oppose this ban. It failed to get enough votes last month… let’s be sure it loses again this week!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Take a minute right now to <a href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&amp;c=P%2BgW4TmhpiRz35OAOp1tVy3%2BGR%2Fh2DZL" target="_blank">email members of the Long Beach City Council</a> and tell them to vote no on a ban. Instead, City Council Members should work with stakeholders to find a better solution. ASA’s online action center makes it easy to email the City Council Members right now.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">You can attend the Long Beach City Council Meeting to talk to the City Council Members in person on Tuesday, January 17, at 5:00 PM. The meeting is in Council Chambers, <a href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&amp;c=XUhItU0roWj7XkGlMYdjgSQQksgk8XVL" target="_blank">333 W. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach, CA 90802</a>. Arrive early to complete a public speaker’s card for agenda item #25 under &#8220;Unfinished Business&#8221; on Tuesday&#8217;s agenda.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Legal patients rely on patients’ cooperatives and collectives for safe access to the medicine they need to treat the symptoms of cancer, HIV/AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, chronic pain, and other serious conditions. Closing cooperatives and collectives will harm patients, but <a href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&amp;c=3NgAeh4g5fcSKq5FNI0PhC3%2BGR%2Fh2DZL">research </a>conducted by ASA shows that sensible regulations reduce crime and complaints while preserving patients’ access. The Long Beach City Council should work with patients and other community members to improve the existing medical cannabis ordinance, instead of banning patients’ associations outright.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Thank you for helping to defend safe access in Long Beach,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Don Duncan<br />
California Director</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Why This Is A Bad Idea</strong></span></h2>
<p>Here a few points I&#8217;d like to bring up as to why this plan to ban the collectives is such a bad idea&#8230;</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Why This Is A Bad Idea &#8211; Infrastructure</strong></span></h2>
<p>Right now, in Long Beach we have an infrastructure of medical marijuana collectives that serve thousands of patients everyday. Many of these collectives, run by non-profits, have invested thousands of dollars each to build establishments that comply with the regulations the city passed several years ago.</p>
<p>Those regulations were badly constructed, but could be re-written to conform to the court order against them. But banning collectives outright would immediately cripple the existing infrastructure &#8211; forcing thousands of patients into the black market to get their medicine.</p>
<p>You could basically call banning the collectives as a &#8220;Gang Stimulus Program.&#8221; I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s what we want to do&#8230;</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Why This Is A Bad Idea &#8211; Lawsuits</strong></span></h2>
<p>The collectives have already spent thousands of dollars in legal fees fighting this effort by our City Attorney Bob Shannon. I do not doubt that if the city attempts to close down the collectives, law suits are bound to follow.</p>
<p>After millions of dollars have been spent throughout the city by various collectives to be in compliance with the city&#8217;s regulation, I just can&#8217;t imagine this ending quietly, without lawsuits, can you?</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Why This Is A Bad Idea &#8211; Good Neighborhoods and Law Enforcement</strong></span></h2>
<p><a title="ASA collectives study" href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&amp;c=3NgAeh4g5fcSKq5FNI0PhC3%2BGR%2Fh2DZL" target="_blank">Studies have shown</a> that cities with well-regulated collectives have lower crime rates, better neighborhoods, and that the collectives attract customers to the surrounding businesses.</p>
<p>Over and over again, in spite of the fears of those that say collectives will increase crime, it has been seen that crime actually drops, and many neighboring businesses report that they are thankful for the increased security provided by the collectives as well as the extra customers. In most cases, well-regulated collectives have been considered very good neighbors.</p>
<p>Our police chief doesn&#8217;t seem to believe any of this and would like to put our thin police resources to work shutting down all the collectives. I really have to question the wisdom of those priorities.</p>
<p>When over 70% (being very conservative with that number) of the residents of the city are actually in favor of medical marijuana, I not only question the wisdom of our police chief, but also his motivation.</p>

<p>There is many other issues around the subject of medical marijuana I could go into, but I&#8217;m going to wrap this up here for the time being.</p>
<p>Thank you for reading. Much of what I&#8217;ve written is more candid then I expected to be, but this is an extremely important issue, and I hope I can do my part to help us move forward.</p>
