Subject: Re: Introduction by way of Steve Best
Hello again,
I’ve been pretty busy today, so rather than crafting a lengthy response and delaying the continuation of this stimulating dialogue, I’m sending you a link to one of Best’s pieces that I just republished on Thomas Paine’s Corner. It’s a nice encapsulation of a worldview (with respect to the question of valuing life over property) that closely parallels my own. I had already formed my own philosophies before I met Steve and we don’t agree on every little nuance, but we are eerily similar in our viewpoints. After reading this essay, you’ll have the answers to your questions you asked of me.

With respect to maintaining anonymity, I fully appreciate and understand why these nonhuman animal defenders (see the link below) remain underground and conceal their identities from our murderous capitalist “democracy”

However, if one is working aboveground and within the bounds of the law, like I am and like you have stated that you are, I see no reason to remain anonymous.
I’m not hiding. Why are you? I find that to be quite perplexing.
And why is it that you value property over life?
“So Midas, king of Lydia, swelled at first with pride when he found he could transform everything he touched to gold; but when he beheld his food grow rigid and his drink harden into golden ice then he understood that this gift was a bane and in his loathing for gold, cursed his prayer”
Best regards,
Jason
