Well, coming out of the lurk to say that you enjoy my work… thank you! The person who robbed you was probably in the same position as me, just without the self-awareness. But still desperate and addicted. I'm sorry it happened to you, and I'd wager he is sorry too.

I found that a sense of humor is what really matters….

Danny Trejo is not some stranger; he has made a career out of playing a criminal and a convict. I think that I am in the rare position of being allowed to question his authenticity. If you don't respect me so much, don't read me. In my non-textual life, I am quite happy.

It certainly isn't the place to right the world's wrongs. And becoming a rat is the worst thing that can happen to you. The kids were in a gang known for its initiation ritual violence. Telling on them would have meant a scar for me, in every prison they put me in because that's how the grapevine works. This OKH…

This is a very incisive post….

Oh, EF! Well, thanks for reading!

I am aware of what a Petrodollar is, but did not want to over-complicate the analogy of fiat currencies. The word you are looking for to describe your desire to play the role of Wikipedia is 'pedantic'.

You really need to Google me.

I suspect I'm a better writer than the Mexican boxer/murderer. But you never know….

Am I dealing with someone making a funny or someone who doesn't know the french words that are used in English now and again?

Slow reader, huh? The hard part was reconciling the need to get help fast with the duty to not help the cops catch the perpetrators. Got it now?

Not for nothing, I did about five times as much time as he did, I think. What the hell does he know? But he sure makes a lot of AA videos…..

Fear of consequences was the strongest motivator for me, yes.
