I've been way too busy to comment in a while on your posts but I need to say that I am impressed and inspired and honored by them and to know you. I really appreciate your vocal stance on a lot of issues that are often swept under the rug and I wish I had more time (made more time) to write about these sorts of issues myself which I feel so vehemently passionate about and that you continue to discuss - from Afghan women's treatment - to asian american issues (airbender bs movie stuff) - etc etc it's interesting to see as I remember before a majority of your posts related to fan geekdom and ken. Not to say that those things aren't also important to comment on - but it's good to see that it's not ALL that you comment on. I really appreciate that. =)

Keep on writing - and you should try to get some of your stuff published in local papers/magazines - your conviction rings through like sweet bells of liberty.
