Your web site I sent the following email after reading this http://homes.acmecity.com/rosie/awards/369/1plus1.htm is very nice! I could almost take the pledge. I am one of the most nonviolent people you would care to meet!
I smoked, and inhaled some rather fine herbs in the 60's and passed on that but I do know non violent.
I served in the U.S. Navy from 1970 to 1974 just because I could avoid the draft doing so. I enlisted! The military is not perfect by any means but it can do very little without consent in our country. The consent comes from the people? No, the consent comes from the elected juggernaut that we have created. I do suppose you vote?
I would also hopr that you would remember that if some wars were not fought the place we call The United States of America would still belomg to the real American people that we call Indians. If not for wars and battles, where might you be?
If you do not beleive in the Constitution of The United States of America, as it was written and not as interpreted by whomever want's you are very sadly mistaken. If you surrender all power to the government you will be a serf at first, perhaps well taken care of. Then you will either become part of the problem, an autocrat, or a slave!
Like I said, I am one of the most nonviolent people that you will ever meet and I own many firearms, reload ammunition, hunt on occasion, an very polite in public and frank among friends. Never been in a fist fight since 1972!
Please consider where freedom comes from!
Best Regards,
Hank Lampe
