I would just like to say, continue speaking the truth and being a good example to so many people in the U.K. who listen to you, either on tape through F.H.U. London, or via the internet. I first heard you when I was 16 and by God, if I'd understood you fully back then, how much simpler my life would be right now. But I guess, until we're ready to act on the kind of things that you say fully, instead of merely just thinking to ourselves ' yeah...that's kind of neat' without actually putting anything into practice, then suffering is inevitable. I had an alcoholic father who wasn't physically abusive, but could make me feel bad all the same. I don't think he was wicked, no, but he just wasn't there when I needed him. And my mother couldn't deal with it and got impatient. They divorced when I was 12. I went on to become a high-flyer at school and a fairly good cartoonist, but I always felt inferior, somehow. I always had a problem with people in authority and felt belittled by them, even by you, when I phoned you in the past - even though I know you're a good man. What hurts at the moment is that my brother, who is four years older than me (28) has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is now in the clutches of the unenlightened mental health services who keep him drugged up to the eye-balls, and have changed his character beyond recognition. I love my brother, and remember with fondness all the good times we had growing up, despite everything. But they have destroyed him. When I see him now I get a very dark sadness come over me, like a stranglehold. And just feel very, very sad that he has let this happen. I think it might be too late for him now, but I pray, with your guidance, to live my own life decently. I hope that you get on T.V. here one day and shoot down some liberals. Most of all I hope you live to the age of 100. Thank you Roy. Damien,
