I wish to apoligize for my choice of words which you felt disrespected
by. I use these words ocasionally, in anger, but they are never directed
at anyone as disrespect. I conceed also that you have shown me all the
respect that is due and more. Please find it in your heart to forgive me
and listen to the points I will me making in the near future. I take
anger at no one personally, but rather at institutions and paradigms.In 1991
Public Enemy released the album "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us
Back". The theme of this album was that no individuals are wicked, but
rather we are all to blame in small ways. This is how I feel when it
comes to large injustices.

I would love to offer examples of the problems with the PSAT.
However, this take some time and you may have gathered that I have a busy
life. I will offer examples as they come to me, and as am able to type
them. It shoudl also be explained that the problems I listed so stridently
and without explaination, are, in fact, in many cases quite subtle in
nature. Subtle in the sense that they are easily overlooked, and/ or
denied outright by some, including those defensive of the system. They
are not subtle, however, in the sense of not making a big difference. They
matter alot, and that is why I care so much, enough to wrongly curse before
people of distinction such as your self. Thank you, as apologies again,
Nathan
