Rachel Corrie's Letters
Rachel Carrie is a hero in my home town. I didn't know her well, but she was a bright light here, working and sacrificing to make the world a better place. Unfortunately she made the greatest sacrifice in 2003, from one of many websites dedicated to her:
...23-year-old American human rights worker Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer. She was trying to prevent the Israeli army from destroying the home of a physician and his family in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
A collection of her inspiring and illuminating letters has been published, they are available for free by download, or can be purchased at
A short excerpt;
When I come back from Palestine, I probably will have nightmares and constantly feel guilty for not being here, but I can channel that into more work. Coming here is one of the better things I've ever done. So when I sound crazy, or if the Israeli military should break with their racist tendency not to injure white people, please pin the reason squarely on the fact that I am in the midst of a genocide which I am also indirectly supporting, and for which my government is largely responsible.

Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience.
I have a Phone Sex site/blog. It pretty much covers Phone Sex and Adult related talk.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
