It's not for lack of trying. We tried softly soflty, we tried ramping 
up with letters to all sorts of people behind the scenes, we've gone 
public, and we've paid the price with being 'uninvited' to meetings 
due to ruffled feathers by staff who couldn't deal with the 
criticism. It's astonishing how this has gone, truly.

If anyone else has any ideas, we are open to participation. The 
recalcitrance of those in power is mind-boggling. And the public is 
being fed sweeties.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
