I admire your article. It is well structured, honest, and simple in the immediacy of its impact ( a rarity and a delight.)

Yet I fear speaking out. Like the being standing at the end of the plank cast above alligator infested waters and threatened by saber waving pirates, I am marooned in a quandry of inaction.

Having spoken before in support of your themes I have been both complimented and far more viciously battered in the stocks.

Should silence then be my recourse? Alligators or swords?

Silence is a pathetic exit into the dark night therefore I draw on other's thoughts:

'Simplicity, compassion, patience that is all that is worth teaching. They are our greatest treasures.' - Lao Tzu

They are evident in your voice and the honesty of your words. A pleasure.
