Even when I'm depressed, and at my dumbest, I don't stand a chance of writing like this. Bless you.

Glad to read your writing again; and even more glad that you are able to write. The human brain is amazing and also a complete bastard.

Thanks Helen. You have written so well about Julian. Are you in Aus right now? I tried to track you down when we put on a rally in Melbourne last Oct. I understand your position. Activism is exhausting and not conjucive to healing. I know from my own experience how important it is to respect your limitations. Would you mind if I check in from time time to see if you are up for speaking at an event in the future if this monsterous injustice continues? We have also wanted to put on a music/arts/protest event for Julian soon. Are you in the position to help make contact with music and performance artists? None of our core group assisting the Assange Campaign are very well connected. The lovely Chris Debrow is ready to go though.

Taking time to understand military strategy and tactics will give you a much more profound appreciation for the scope of peoples psychopathy.

Percy Bysshe Shelley once said:

"Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse to do it in a uniform: he only adds

subservience to the original crime."

and while he's on the subject.

"War is the statesman's game, the priest's delight, the lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's

trade."

Enuff said.
