Open Letter
March 31, 2003
Thanks everybody for the hundreds of letters of support and understanding over the past few weeks. In making public my "spiritual meltdown" I can see I have touched many people.
As for those of you who are moved in "other" ways and who feel the need to send messages of hate, please know I do NOT read your letters, and I will not engage in any vitriolic dialogue.
Regardless of the satire and my obvious slant on this site I do not expect to change opinions, nor should you expect to change mine. Sorry, that's just the way it is right now. While people are dying I will not join in any poisonous discussions. I need my spirit and energy to do whatever I can to help get my son and our troops back home safely from this war.
I'm totally okay with preaching to any of the choir that might still be coming to the church.
Thanks!
Peter Hansen
