[Lula-biz] saved by lula

[Brian Redfern]

I had to calm down and re-read the indictment letter, I thought I had to
come up with $587 by next week to avoid jail, but I re-read it and I have
to come up with $167 by 9/7, and it just happens that awsome fellow Lula
member Kevin Cohen who got me a little php/mysql project that just came
into fruition, and I'll be able to use that to make the restitution
payment to the county so I won't be going to jail! Thanks Kevin for
helping a fellow Linux head and saving me from some f'ed up stuff, I know
I'm waaay too talented and intellegent to wind up in the county clink, but
the truth is for other poor folks who don't have the ablility to make a
restitution payment, they wind up with a record and having to do time in
county or even state prison. So this experienced has opened my eyes and
made me realize its not enough to spend all day sitting behind the
computer, I need to get out there and donate some time to do more actvist
work to educate the people about the war against the american people by
our own so-called "civil servants". I'm not blaming them for the fact that
I got in deep shit by bouncing a check, but I think its insane to
potentially scentence someone to 5 years in state prison over a $40 check.

Then I also looked into getting welfare to make up for my lost
unemployment, but you have to do workfare for 40 hours per week to get
$180 per month, so workfare in california is a fucked up way to enslave
poor people to do civil service work for $0.50 per hour. People have to be
educated about this, because most comfortable people will have no idea
what the poor and struggling go through until they go from $72,000/year to
$6/hour.

We can work non-violently like Ghandi to throw off the reptiles that want
to drive us back into 19th century oligarchy and slavery. The shit is
real, when you have 3/4 of the jobs eliminated from an entire industry and
most of it not eliminated due to dot bomb, and not as Bush would have us
believe that American techies are lazy and incompetent (from the guy who
went on a one month vacation when he was told Al Queda was going to ram
those jets into the Twin Towers and Pentagon, Rep Cynthia McKinney has
laid out some very. very damning facts about this).

I suffer from a lot of emotional problems from sexually being abused on a
nearly dailey basis by my parish priest when I was a kid from 83-86, so I
suffer from Vietnam Vet style PTSD, and my life is a daily struggle to
overcome anxiety, depression, and low self esteem. I went through hardcore
brainwashing, but Linux has been a major kee to rebuilding my self-esteem
and giving myself a sense of purpose in life besides working a job.

Now I just have to overcome my 20 years of pent up rage, depression and
anxiety to write the code I'm truly capable of. But I did manage to learn
how to use python and the pygame libraries to make completely cross
platform games and I was able to figure out the mystery (repartitioning
windows xp as a regular old school fat partition) of setting up a
suse/windows xp dual boot, so now I can develop games under linux, but
then use the disutils under windows xp python to generate a windows
binary, so I can start a business plan of giving away my python code under
lgpl so linux people can play with it for free, and then selling my own
windows binaries for at least $20 a pop.

Anyways thank you all for putting up with my crazed, PTSD driven ratings,
all of Lula have been a big part of my recovery, and one of you just saved
me from some seriously messed up crap that I didn't deserve, so thanks
everyone :-).
