Hi Doc..
>I thought a lot about your dilemma. Started to compose a response twice
>(once directly to you, once to the complex list). I stopped each time.

Thank you for thinking and thank you for responding now.
>What I did do after I read your correspondence the first time, was to go

I think the only thing I read by Thoreau was Walden -- but I think he
touched on many tgings in that book -- I loved it and his writing. I have
not read On Civil Disobediance.
>There is no "democracy." But the power to rule me and govern me comes

Tell me how Doc. How can I rescind that power? The system is too huge,
too complex, it has a life of its own. How Doc, can that happen?
>And the consequences belong to me, also. So if you choose to
>exercise your power, in whatever expression that takes, and if I ask you
>why you are suffering the consequences of that choice, you may feel free
>to ask me why I am not standing with you.
Please explain more. Are you saying that you think I have rescinded that
power and am suffering the consequences of that? How have I done that?
Are you too attcking me because I didn't vote between the ages of 18 and
30? Maybe I am just confused....
