I don't know if I've ever felt close to anyone so quickly as you. And we don't even know each others names (I have no problem with that).
I admire your courage, as all those things you say, you probably went through yourself. It is amazing for me to see an opposite point of view in some of these things. Not to mention that I am re-thinking some of my (re)actions...
As before, I will now go back to your message and read it slowly many times over... some revolutionary stuff for me there...
