Whichever way you view LfR, this work of fiction is definitely not a "prank" and certainly was not meant to confuse anyone - I thought the "note to reader "preface would make the fictional nature clear. As pointed out in the interview, i wrote the letters individually in the summer of 2004 and bundled them along with paintings in a book made of wood and hemp. Now wondering what to do with the project next. Hope the hostility subsides Kristopher - I wrote Letters from Russia to encourage peace and openness rather than conflict and consternation.

I had feared as much. More should have been done to make that fact obvious from the outset, and the fact that more was not done leaves me now feeling somewhat hostile towards the work and its author. This "project" seems to me to be nothing more than a well written prank. I have just learned that these letters are not authentic. I had feared as much.

People always want to do something they are not supposed to do. It infuriates me that we give criminals such an easy way to make money. We could put the black market out of business over night, if we would simply legalize all of the products being sold on the black market. Put thousands of criminals out of business over night. Wow, imagine that. Of course then, it wouldn't be so easy for us to put hundreds of thousands of black people in prison, so I guess we should probably keep drugs legal just so that we can keep arresting as many black people as possible, for no good reason. That way the people who build prisons can keep making lots of money! It makes perfect sense!

There is another way: Currently the State of Washington could really use extra revenue. My recommendation is for the State of Washington to sell growing permit's, that anyone over the age of 21 could purchase at there local City Hall for $300. per year. The $300. would be broken down thirds, and each $100. distributed back to the purchasers City, County, and State. When someone is a felon, it should be for a felony crime, not because government has inflated the crime to harass Mexicans (the first state to make a law for anti marijuana was Texas to harass Mexicans crossing the border back in the early 1900's, followed by Texas asking the Federal Government to add it to other dangerous drugs during the opium war also in the early 1900's. The Food & Drug Administration was started to inform the public what is in food, drugs and later cosmetics - not to tell us what we can & can not eat or take. For 10,000 years people have used marijuana. For 100 years, our country has harassed our own people, calling marijuana a dangerous drug. As we move backwards to the 1929/30 depression period, there is going to be more & more serious crimes, as people get poorer and have less attributed to the current rapid inflation. End prohibition for marijuana now, so the legal and prison systems' can concentrate on far more serious issues and with any inflation period in our history, serious crimes went up fast. If there is a nuclear war in the near future, another reason for selling state growing permits to so many motivated growers state wide, is the state has now motivated people from all parts of the state to learn how to grow. Now there's extra revenue for government without harassing the people. Caught without a permit could be a $3,000. fine. I am sure most people would be happy to pay $300. for a permit. I've heard estimated to date, that over 100 million American's have smoked marijuana. Marijuana can be added to beverages & food and it helps with longivity of health & life. Sorry still can not smoke and drive, that's still a DWI/DUI. Let's once and for all end the prohibition for mature-adult's in our country.

If you want to become a Permanent Resident the process can take a long time. For instance a skilled worker applying in London for Permanent Residence can expect the process to take from 30 - 41 months from when you send you application in. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/02a-skilled-fed.asp Do not under estimate the complexity of the process - US Citizens may have an easier time of it, for others the wait time can be considerable.

With a roof, no one will be giving the occasional glance at the water -- so why have such a massive beast using up waterfront space. Most successful cities would be more respectful of a last piece of waterfront. The transportation hub is cool, but throw 15 -30,000 hyped-up fans into the mix, and no one will be going anywhere fast. That could mean you, trying to get to the airport on time. Building a new stadium and tearing down an old one (BC Place) -- how green is that? Come on Whitecaps, give this City a little more respect.

You can't go wrong with a friend like Rev. Bob. As you, I too shun exclusivity in all religions and philosophies. I completed my first read of his "God Refined" work last night and his mental wisdom as well as spiritual truth and courage is superb. Indeed, after reading his insights, i now have no excuses for not becoming a better person. He has well placed the "spiritual ball" in my court and the court of each and every individual at a grass roots level. No one, not even God will force us to do what is right, it is our free will responsibility to do it from the ground up without anyone pulling our strings... Here you have found more than a transient observation, even a universal, eternal, and infinite one. Keep on keeping on, DaveO. All the best to you and your loved ones, today and forever... richard Yo, DaveO.
