Mike Powers is the guest editor today. From a reader: "After several years of avid reading and enjoyment of STR, I've finally sent a much overdue donation. Please keep up the good work. STR is an important part of my life and information stream. During very hard years in the military, the information and articles helped me redefine myself and the world around me as well as giving me encouragement and hope. Many years ago, I was a statist and a very dogmatic and unhappy person. I am now free and none of those things. Having always been a seeker for truth since I can remember, I can't say this was all the doing of STR, but the site has certainly played a major role." |
