Opinion:14-23

 Dear Rina

 
When I get to cry or sob while reading or listening to music, I am convinced the information is of the best quality under heavens above. Plus, it is essential, necessary, and as such, needs to be nurtured, repeated, played back, endless times. And each time it produces a new discovery that touches to my heart anew.
 
Veronica’s piece is one such material of awe. It is the clearest and most sincere declaration of the seemingly ethereal human affliction of unnecessary assimilation and self inflicted racism, that I have encountered. For those of us who still have not become chronically brainwashed, the article can be used to further develop in us the strength needed to combat harmful drive for assimilation as does William Reis, Mr X Luther King in the article.
 
Thanks for publishing Veronica’s article.
