what a thoughtful and intelligent girl you seem to be... and taking on the tough issues, society, government influence, freedom, individuality... i find when i dwell too long these concepts almost always depress me but i never let that stop me either, it just stops most people from discussing it with me.. so many of us feel powerless when dealing with things so large, but hey, i believe its important that someone rise to the task...

don't believe that everyone has their head in the sand, sometimes all we need is a good leader, or at least someone willing to try... i've felt for years these were important issues but so depressed i didn't know where or how to begin and i agree, there wasn't much encouragement from the established sectors of society...

but looking about now, the state of world affairs is exactly what inaction has brought us to... you rock maq and continue... there is nothing wrong at all in trying to improve conditions... but possibly be willing to accept that often it is a lonely path...
