It's funny how he's more informed of the reality of the OWS' complaints than people that are informed with full access to the media. I guess he has to be more subtle and careful about how he digests the news he receives in prison, and devotes time to it too.
I'm sure he's a smart guy regardless of whatever happened, but I guess that he's devoting time to analysing the news and the way that it's presented, and that's something that seems quite hard to make time for, and people that like Fox News or Tabloid news like it because it does deliver a preconceived opinion and reaction to the story, not because they're stupid, but because they either don't want to or can't spend time breaking down the news like that. Even more reputable sources put a spin on things that reflects their own agenda. The only surefire thing is to check multiple sources, which is a lot easier with the advent of online news and blanket youtube coverage, but who can really be bothered (I can, but that's more to do with me I guess).
Thanks for this. Great site, fantastic art. Pencil and Coffee? I look forward to seeing more.

4) The forgotten with no one to love. Doing time is easy for these. They don’t miss anyone… which, to me, is incarceration in a nutshell: the forced absence of those you love. Take that factor out of the punishment equation, and prison isn’t prison… it’s free room and board, with some cop telling you when to piss. Also, a GD song I've taken for granted for years, now takes on new meaning.
Made me realize that it's been a very long time since I hand wrote a letter. Maybe even years.
