Statement: addendum, clarification

Okay, so I've seen as much chaos and war as the next man, but I'm actually a bit of a peacenik.  And I can't stand threats...  our culture has a problem with violence being tolerated, to the extent that it poisons democracy.  I've had to deal with situations some of you might not understand. I've been calling for peace, unity.  I accept what's hard for me...  I don't like seeing threats flash across my screen.  It's not a game, and you are dealing with an essentially peaceful, innocent man...  guilty of having new ideas and being disabled.  That can cause a lot of trouble, but I'm no criminal...  I've taken no illicit money and have tolerated a lot.  I have no access to violence at this point, because I took peaceful roads.  To abuse that would be wrong.

Speaking of peaceful politics, look I identify myself as a Democrat and I have faith in leaders like Senators Schumer and Sanders etc etc, but I'm a bit unconventional. The world is chaotic and changing right now...  that's been my life for a long time.  I don't necessarily choose between the working and moneyed classes because honestly I don't identify with either.  It's important for people to do their best.  But to struggle is to work.  For me, surviving has been hard work... and I've been able to contribute in addition to that.

Nor am I a person who's especially seeking vengeance, nor a person who believes it's okay to say just anything at all.  I do believe we need to move toward a democratic society, and that we need more not less 'press freedom,' that social media is essentially press...  but I know there are limits.  I'm well aware that I have family and that there are people who could exert violence upon them. That's the last thing I'd want, so if that's ever the situation, just take me out first.  Anyone who knows me knows I'm willing to die honorably... or even 'dishonorably...'  neither God nor the people will ultimately so view it.  Putting too much fear into people who aren't cowards is a dangerous practice 'in the long run'
