letter the third (and nearly fourth)

There has been a series of letters from one man. I don't have all of them but I do have the last two.
The first was written from jail. Well, I should say that is was carved in jail. You can distinctly feel the words on the other side of the page. GET YOUR ALL CAPS EYES READY. I THINK THE QUOTATION MARKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ASTERISKS BUT SOMETIMES THEY SERVE SOMEWHAT PROPERLY AS QUOTATION MARKS. SORTA.

 

TO THE [RETRACTED] EDITOR:

I WRITE THIS LETTER TO INFORM PEOPLE AND HOPEFULLY BRING ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGES.

I HAVE BEEN IN JAIL NOW FOR (14) MONTHS FOR A CHARGE THAT EVEN "IF" I WAS FOUND GUILTY OF A PERSON WOULD NORMALLY RECEIVE "NO" JAIL TIME FOR.

A "SO CALLED" PSYCHOLOGIST FROM THE STATE SAID THAT EVEN "IF" STATE PEOPLE WERE POISONING CHILDREN, GETTING KICKBACKS, AND KILLING PEOPLE TO COVER UP THEIR ACTIONS, I HAD "NO" RIGHT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, MANY OF WHOM WERE FROM VIRGINIA, COULD NOT DISAGREE MORE. THEY MADE IT CLEAR WE THE PEOPLE NOT ONLY HAD A RIGHT TO REDRES GOVERNMENT FOR GRIEVEANCES, BUT ALSO A DUTY TO STAND UP TO SUCH WICKNESS!

I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO CARE ABOUT ME OR THE CHILDREN I AM TRYING TO SAVE, BUT I AM LIKE A CANARY IN A COAL MINE. IF I FALL VICTIM TO THE "EVIL EMPIRE" THEN "YOU" AND THE PEOPLE "YOU" CARE ABOUT "MAY" BE NEXT!

READ THE CHARLES DICKENS BOOK "THE CHRISTMAS CAROL." LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE CHILDREN "IGNORANCE" AND "WANT." BOTH ARE SAD SOULS, BUT "IGNORANCE" IS THE WORST AS ONE MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHO HIS FRIENDS AND ENEMIES TRULY ARE, AND THEREFORE HOW TO PROCEED.

SOMETIMES THE ANSWER IS "NOT" MORE GOVERNMENT MONEY, BUT LESS!

He prefaced the next letter, from when he got out of jail, with something along the ranges of we'll find it interesting. Sadly, a few days later, we got this.

TO THE [RETRACTED] EDITOR:

PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH MY LETTER AS IT MAY CAUSE ME EVEN MORE PROBLEMS. I HAVE RETHOUGHT MY ACTIONS.

He lucked out; if this were to run, he would have told us not to do it after the presses ran.
