Harken to the words of STEPHEN. {Glory be to his Toenails and tremble* 
at his utterances.}
It is all power over others. There seems to be an inbuilt desire for 
people to believe in something bigger and better than themselves, for 
divers reasons. So these people set themselves up as gods or prophets or 
priests or vegans and use the gullible to enrich themselves. I don’t 
think there is any getting away from it. As it was in the beginning so 
it shall be for evermore.
Unfortunately Europe exported a lot of its malcontents to America and 
there they prospered.
In my experience, there are so many good and decent people in America 
who are drowned out by the vocal fruit loops that the world thinks that 
is America.
Now I am stuck for what to say. I don’t really want to rant, maybe just 
cry a little.
So keep your pecker up Shay and fight the good fight. It may come out 
all right in the end.
