Dear discotejas/discotexas,
I have not much to impart other than gratitude long over due. few may realize it, but there are those of us out there who hear you speak out from beneath the soiled mire that has befallen society inside and out. I myself know the harsh sting of overlooked oppression. Society has become intolerant to the lactose intolerant. Though, I digress.
Personally, I was most moved with your righteous attack on Salvati. I have suffered a similar fate time and time again only to remain silent. Here I can find a sanctuary of truth and justice about politics, art and most every facet of sociery.
You are a voice of the people.

In retrospect, I believe my comments are best put by a founding fathers of our great nation:
“Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.”
-John Quincy Adams (1767 – 1848)

Thanks! Too often, we note our own opportunism and, though we hesitate to openly use such language, shoddy reporting. Conflating time and space, making confetti of these daily reality slide shows, discotejas/discotexas ultimately works to encourage and provoke meaningful demonstrations of freedom. Indeed, we can offer freedom at far lower rates that the federal gov’t. How do we do it?
