Thank you for asking, To answer some of the many questions that have
   been flooding in, I want to get back to you personally but for now, my
   mailings have caused a deluge of E-mail. I love it! People are really
   interested in finding answers toward making a better world for us all.
   I am just learning how to use some of this mailing programs. I must
   apologize to the three people who wrote back wanting off of my mailing
   list. I fully intended to take you off as you requested. A software
   glitch caused me to lose those few files in the remove directory., What
   can I say, I am sorry, I messed up. I will not call names, but the
   three of you know who you are, would you be so kind as to re-summit
   your request for removal. I went ahead with the mailing to the other
   30,000 or so that wanted to remain on the list. I hope you will not
   mind. I thank you for your incontinence, and I know the others on the
   list will also. First of all, in answer to the few that were in favor
   of slavery for prisoners, let me say, it is impossible to re-habilitate
   someones attitude toward society with methods that make the person
   bitter against the re-habilitations. You just confirm to the criminal
   that their poor outlook on society is right. When you stoop to steal a
   persons talent, work, pride and dignity you are no better than the
   crook yourself. People learn by example, not by what you say. What we
   are presently doing isn't working. More than 75 % of offenders come
   back to prison after release. If someone could not support themselves,
   a life of crime would be a viable choice. If a person is imprisoned
   because they stole to support themselves or their family, are we
   setting a good example when we steal their labor and talent thus
   exploiting them? Would it be better to teach someone to make a living
   while they are being isolated from general society, or would it be
   smarter to increase an individuals anger and confirming to them that we
   really dont give a damned about them? Which would convince you that the
   established order had something for you, one that included you, or one
   that excluded and stole from you? If we have a fair economic system,
   and a Polly centric democracy, There is a place for everyone in it.
   When you isolate someone from their peers, in order to protect society
   in general, would it be better to return them to society as a bitter
   person? Do we want to teach people to lash back at the system that has
   excluded them? Is slavery conducive to creativity? We call ourselves a
   free country yet we house more prisoners than any other country.
   Lastly, I am not against employment of prisoners, there is a big
   difference in employment and slavery. You pay an employee, while you
   exploit a slave. There ! is choice in employment, while the With a
   prison population that is on the rise, I want it to be nice when I get
   there. How do you want it when the police state finally nabs you? If
   you have no compassion for others, I would think that self preservation
   might spark an interest. But then you say, I am not a crook. I would
   never be in a place like that. In Nazi Germany I am sure many people
   thought the same way. I hope you are right in your thinking. If you
   are, I hope you prove it. That is what I am doing with my ideas. I am
   acting on them. I dont care whether you agree with me or not, as long
   as you are thinking. I am willing to let the best idea win. The best
   idea is the one that is acted upon the most. Action never loses .when
   based in truth. If you want to join me in action let me know. I have a
   plan that you might like. If you want to know more, get back too me and
   let me know if you would like to see some of my web-sites that are
   being designed to put the power into the peoples hands ! and solve some
   of these on going p Now here is the really exciting news. You know how
   hard it is to get politicians to listen to you if you did not
   contribute to their campaigned? Well, I think I might just have the
   answer to all that. Politicians like it when we pay our tax. It gives
   them more money to get kick backs from. After all, you didnt think they
   spent all that money getting elected just to serve the people for a
   fraction of what they spent getting elected did you? No, of course you
   didnt think that. Soon there is going to be an offshore auction. This
   will be outside of the USA in a tax haven. It will be reachable by
   internet. The money you make and save will be taxed only as your
   conscience directs. The government cannot tax what it can not see. If
   you would like to non taxable money, you might consider making
   donations that you would have otherwise spent in taxes to a prison
   reform fund. Think about it and let me know if you really want to be on
   the list of people notified when this ! offshore auction goes on line.
   It Thanks again, Fred L. Michaelis
