No, it'll be great! You'll have some fun, get a chance to be decent and respectful to some young men and women who could really use it.

All my talk about an alternative to brainwashing, I am taking the first step and volunteering just to see if it is even something I care to be involved with. My friend is the brains of us, he has a degree and experience.



pray for us, I an a little nervous about it all now that I have the chance to go into the belly of the beast so to speak. Thinking I am probably a little crazy to have gotten myself into this.



I always felt I should do something to at least try.

I actually did an internship with the Juvie Assessment center.  Maybe it was the location, but those folks about 180 degrees south of KoolAid City.  

Good luck!

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

"Well, it went really good.



We played in the gym so the echo was gigantic and the music was all muddy from that and hard to hear what was going on but it was still good music.



I am definately inspired. There was so many bad-ass dudes, all slumped back and then as we got going to see them get the rhthym and get into it and fucking smile man, it was good.



The workers all had a similar strangeness about them, to be expected, the lady in charge of volunteers was very greatful.



The guys want us to keep coming back, that was the main question, do they even want to play music together. So yeah it was good.



"


Most EXCELLENT! I am glad for them, and for you as well. Recall a few weeks ago in a post we discussed forgiving..Perhaps you were there for-giving. Giving of your time and your ideas. Seems small maybe but a smile goes along way in saying thank you.

You get an atta-boy and 2 pawz^

Namaste

Maybe we could make a non-profit group, who brainstorms and offers new ideas to the communities.  You have done a great thing Dragonfly, I admire you. You are an energy giver, not a vampire./salute

I have always wished to teach young girls about real life and the possiblities, both great and horrible. Teach them about making informed choices, especially when it comes to their bodies. And at the same time, teach them to be free, but how to make choices for their highest good. To think not only short term, but long term. I would wanna do this in a fun way tho, an encouraging, growing, flexible way. I wouldn't wanna stand at the front and lecture them. Drumming and the like are great ideas to get a chance to teach kids things that no one is talking about.

I say girls because, I am a girl as well and can understand them a bit better. LOL

Well, you can't become a Vigilanty and do it long. They will put a stop to it quickly. There has to be a better way, a higher good. Remember to be successful at anything, you must give energy to all involved, not take it away.

yeah I'm working on the idea, I need a backer, a wealthy ex-pow who believes in me and will pay me to do this.

I will consider it provided you make sure that my hedges are trimmed once a month, and all of the dog turds are removed from my yard daily - I own several large dogs.
