89. One has the freedom of their mind, even in jail. It can't be defiled without consent. BUT
that being said, if this is an expression of your emotional revulsion at all that's happened, just know that I'm with you on that account, without real hesitation.

I don't like to give so much power to the negative forces, absent the horrors of periods of torture, the mind is free and can't be "turned into a junkyard" agians the consent of an aware person at least. I realize "it can happen" though, to good people, whose minds are affected but I just thing we should not treat that as inevitable.

It need not last even very long - I know this is not likely this moment, but given a national tv audience, promoted, and an hour and a half debate, any number of people I hope including myself would have the skills to make America (the rest of it) "wake up" pretty darn quick. We don't need to teach anything new about anticorruption when it comes to money the vast majority already believe that, they just have to be mobilized, that's all.
