Some Feedback

My responses to your comments

Last week’s announcement of my Appeal and Amicus briefs got a lot of feedback and discussion. I thought I would take a few moments to respond to some of your thoughts.

From my Medium post:

I can totally relate to that. Doing at least one, or a couple of, productive things every day — whether physically, mentally, or spiritually — can really influence my energy level and endurance. I think even people that aren’t in prison can benefit from such an attitude.

From The Guardian:

Interesting analysis of the situation our society finds itself in today. However, let’s not forget the arc of moral history bends in both directions. That’s why it is important not to just “wait and see” how things turn out, but rather, do everything we can to affect it in the direction that we desire.

Be careful, it is easy to forget sometimes that democracy in its purest form is essentially the “tyranny of the majority.” In a truly just society, our government should not only listen to the majority, but also work towards protecting our most vulnerable.
