===>>> If i'm in town, i'll be going... But most likely i'll be outta here
by then =( ... Which is alright i guess, how often do we get to
travel.... / ... how often do we see sdre... well it is a pretty
close match, but sorry guys i think traveling sounds a little more appealing
right now .... heh heee (it's always nice to get away isn't it?)

(i know this is very much not sdre related, but just to add this in... last
night at san quentin: Manny Babbit was executed... very intense night,
mellow protest, candles, etc... => This man was a vietnam vet .... poor,
black, man who was sent to war at age 17.... (((remember in the 60's racism
was a big thing, and so the U.S. sent all the minorities before sending over
any of the whites.....))) This government taught him how to kill, and how to
fight, how to hate, etc... We lost that war, and many men came back
mentaly ill, crazy both from war, and that agent orange crap. They
refused to treat many of them, and gave these men (that were still alive) no
respect. Manny Babbit was crazy from war, and acted crazy... he would
hide in bushes all the time pretending to be shooting all these people,
wearing army gear, etc... Well one night while acting out his "flashed
back" crazy memories of the war, he scared a woman walking by .... and led
her to have a heart attack. She died. Now Manny went to
trial, and lacking money, he got a public defender defending him. The
public defender was a drunk (they are now proving) and handled his case very
poorly. Manny was put on death row... for first degree murder.
(did i mention that he's black...that didn't have anything to do with
it right? nahhhhh) Now, it's almost 10 years later. Manny was murdered
last night in a gas chamber...... while all we can do, was stand out side in
silence.
People ask why those boys in Colorado shot
all those kids at school? Why? Well look at our examples.... Our
government teaches these vets. to be savages, go off and kill, protecting
them, and murdering others in their names... Then when they get back, the
government spits on them, turns their backs to this illness they have
developed, and when an infortunate thing happends on behalf of this
illness that should have been taken care of, the government takes care
of it with vengance..... and violence.... solve all problems with
violence, kill kill kill....
They teach those to kill, and when they kill ~ they teach them that "killing
is bad", by killing them. I ask anyone who has read this just to pray,
or meditate, or think, or whatever you do about Manny Babbit. And the
other people waiting in line to be murdered, by those who taught us to murder.
.....Love one another.....
Thanks for reading this.... XjessicaX
