Kristen,


It sounds as though you've found your niche and I applaud you, even though I'm not sure where you stand on certain issues, but...., as the old saying goes, "I will fight for your right to your opinion."  We as Americans, tend to be sheep, as we bemoan the fact that our rights have been chiseled away by the very same government that is supposed to protect them.  As I look back on my life, I have seen so many of our precious rights taken away ever so slowly, but steadily.  It's sad and 'yes', we do need to actually get up off our big super-sized butts and make a stand, or we will loose even more of them until this country is a completely Socialized society and our once revered system is completely gone for good.

Dear Family and Friends and Folks,
I just wanted to let you know that everything is going well here in Boston. I'm working for an internet radio station (UNregular Radio) that's founding tenant is free speech. Personally I think they started it so they could tell naughty jokes on the air. Little did they know (maybe not, who knows) that it'd turn into a lightning rod for political activism in Boston.
