"What would you like to see happen to your blog once you're 'released'?" - Z.M. of Lakeland, FL

First let me say that I appreciate your thoughtful card (yes, I enjoy cats very much!) and questions. As for the fate of the Fifth Nail blogs (including the original blog from Fargo) after my "release" (a.k.a. "execution") I can only hope that the information that has been so painstakingly compiled remains available on the Internet for as long as it takes until we, as intelligent species, grow wise enough to read and understand it without judgment. Perhaps then it will become something useful and valuable, if not to help change the world into a better place to live and learn, then maybe just as a resource for understanding how our world was once sickened by so much fear and ignorance.

I have always looked far into the future while writing for the Fifth Nail blogs. I do not write for those who judge and ignorantly condemn themselves as the vast majority in this world only know how to do. I write instead to provide a resource, exposing the thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences of an ordinary human mind infected by a profoundly sick social system for a future world where such ignorance no longer prevails. So you could say that my real hope is only that these blogs, and the world itself, somehow manage simply survive into the future. That's all.
