Subject: PMRS update

Dear Mr. Totty,

It was an experiment, in more ways
than one.  I wanted to keep posting
the material -- knowing that people
don't always read, or fully understand,
their email the first time -- until 
I got some kind of response, ANY kind
of response from recipients.  And so,
in a nation with an incarceration rate
twice that of South Africa, which is
second in prisoners per capita, the 
answers I have received most often
are:  "Take me off your list!" and
"Have a heart -- get lost."  Quite a 
few of these "requests" have come from
members of the press and broadcast media.
What does that tell you?  Maybe fascism
is making a strong comeback, right in
our own backyards, yes?
 
Not one American has even ventured 
to ask, 

"What can I do to help with this?"

Not one.  This is truly shocking, 
particularly when one of those who
told me to "Get lost" then comes 
screaming for help, because now they
have been targeted by IRS, or BATF,
or FBI, or who knows what.  And, of
course, I am expected to be kind, 
courteous, efficient, professional,
humane and, above all, generous.

"Oh, Mr. Mitchell, we all thought
 you worked for free."

Aren't we so proud to be Americans?
It's no wonder that so many people
in foreign countries hate our guts.

/s/ Paul Mitchell
