I am not trying to push just one side, even if I do have strong feelings. But the (to me) fortunate thing about having the internet is people can see and read about things that the big media may not cover.
I don't want to push this on you, as you have every right to the way you feel. I just wanted to say that this was intense and very difficult for me to put together.
I very much appreciate your honesty.
Sincerely,
Jay
