x esigenze di lavoro frequento un ng mmmmolto specialistico e che ci
trovo? Ecco, potrebbe interessare a qualcuno di voi:
-----------------------------
Dear Judges, Lawyers, Policemen, Guards, Counselors, Taxpayers, et.
al.,
We are here.  Like it or not, for good or bad, we are here.  Who are
we?  We are the downtrodden and dispossesed, the self-torturing, the
disenfranchised convicts, drug and alcohol addicts, the unemployed
and unemployable.  We are the children of poverty, financial and
spiritual.  We have and will have children of our own,
grandchildren too.  We are ex-cons, uninsured, homeless, of many
colors and speaking many tongues.  We are the enemy in what has
become a domestic war against ourselves.
And who are you?  You who like the tough talk of Tough on Crime?  You
who watch as budgets are cut in education and health care while you
militarize a police force? Bullet-proof vests, automatic weapons,
helicopters, tanks, robots ... the testosterone is oozing through the
streets, more prisons, longer sentences, tighten the belt, spartan
conditions, task forces, gang units, gun courts.  And what is there
to show for it?  Unemployent stays low because half the population
oversees those "out of the workforce", the dregs, the rabble, the
enemy?  Please tell me there is a deeper reason.  Do you feel safer?
More humane?  More like a cohesive society with a
shared sense of purpose, who can identify Us and Them?  Do you live
in a gated community or gentrified neighborhood?  By the way, have
you read the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution - or do
you only know the first phrases?
It's about time we got together.  Please know that I have yet to meet
a convict who wants their child to be a thief, an addict, a dealer, a
prostitute, or a violent individual.  Most of us still have hope for
ourselves even when stuck in the darkest dilemmas, ruts and
catch-22s.  Most of us believe in crafting laws and instilling
order.  Many of us have burrowed beneath the surface to find a
spiritual sense of being, an understanding force at least as powerful
as those we succumbed to, and many of use wouldn't escape if you
opened the front door.  Did you know that approximately
10 million Americans are either incarcerated, on probation, on parole
or once were in those categories?  Each of those 10 million have
families, friends, neighbors ... and so closer and closer does the We
interface with the You.  Don't you think it's time we talked?
Are you ready?  Can you accept that the road we are travelling points
toward a grim and painful future?  Do you have the heart to face
monumental failures while bravely struggling beyond where we are now?
I know that some of you are, and that some of us are, and this is
what gives me hope.  You need our insights just as we need your
structure.  It is never over, especially when a real solution, a real
treatment for our sickness, is yet to begin.
                                                   In Solidarity,
                                                   Bruce Reilly
(a.k.a Bruha)
                                                   P.O.Box 8274
                                                   Cranston, RI 02920
USA
P.S. - I am trying to conceptualize an effective guerilla media
campaign to promote  this cause.  Ideas are welcome. 
 Collaboration is prayed.

Ma per favore. Questi imbecilli hanno spammato tutti i newsgroup,
inclusi alcuni di quelli moderati autoapprovandosi i messaggi.
