"If you had not been incarcerated in 1980, or if the sentence had been more lenient or included counseling, do you think that you would have committed more violent crimes?" - M.B. of WA

It's hard to say, but I like to think not. In fact, I sincerely believe --- based on much honest self-reflection and years of struggling to understand my original "crime" --- that if I had not been caught and arrested at all then I would have most likely gone on with my life as just another sheep in the herd of society, blissfully oblivious to my own insanity, and the insanity of our social system. And for that reason alone, I am grateful I got caught, pushed, raped in  prison, and embittered against the System. it was the only way I was able to see through the veil of deception that the System uses to control and subdue so many, which ultimately allowed me to remove the monster mask of self-deception that kept me on the System's leash.
