I used to be a professor teaching about this.
Now I'm an activist, a human rights activist, and what drives me is my shame at living in anotherwise great nation that has less than five percent of the world's population but almost 25 percent of the world's incarcerated population. It's the people I meet who have lost someone they love to drug-related violence or prison or overdose or AIDS because our drug policies emphasize criminalization over health.
It's good people who have lost their jobs, their homes, their freedom, even their children to the state, not because they hurt anyone but solely because they chose to use one drug instead of another.

Goodbye Google Sites Message 10/24/14 1958 dw
Good bye Google Sites
Written October 24, 2014 Good by Google Sites UPDATE by dwcoon 1939 dw
Welcome... I have good news...
That time I've been waiting for my entire life, that difficult to articulate feeling, what I've been looking since my journey began, a glimmer of the life's I've envisioned for myself is finally starting to come into reality... This is that point in my life when everything finally starts to come together. All these years of hard work, studying, learning, reading and writing is finally starting to pay off. I knew this day would come as a result of my extreme perseverance and dedication to my moral values which include refusing to sell my soul to the man for a soul-sucking job. Thank God. More than ever i feel god's presence guiding the direction of my life. I am beginning to understand my life's purpose as I continue to write and build upon my life's work. The true purpose may be impossible to ever really know for sure. As I humbly admit that I'm so far from where I want to be as a result of my past failures, mistakes and sins. Lord I repent. Rebuke me, Give me your glorious grace and show me the way I pray. I accept your wisdom and my heart desires to know more of you so that I shall be of better service to you and so that I may know and follow your plan for me.
My purpose as I have come to understand it as of late is ultimately to be a teacher, writer and public social science advocate/servant all in the name of STO. My understanding of my purpose is always evolving and improving as my intelligence and knowledge continue to grow. My daily routine today looks very different from what it looked like ten years ago when my journey began, also my vision of what I want my life to look like in the future as also seen great change. However my ultimate unwavering conviction has not changed the slightest bit. My daily practice of continual lifelong learning and daily incremental progress towards my goals remain exactly the same. The biggest difference between myself ten years ago and myself today is the massive shift in my mental capacity, my level of consciences if you will. This is the result of my compulsion of continual learning and love of science. As my level of consciousness continues to grow, I come closer and closer to god and enlightenment.
Defining my life's purpose in anything less than 100,000 words is difficult because I have a lot to explain. This is why I write compulsively everyday as it may take me a lifetime to articulate my ideas, philosophy and vision of a beautiful prosperous posterity. The latest incarnation of my purpose in STO is defined by a concept that I call "Field-Level Psychiatry". Keep in mind that I'm always sententiously working on dozens of other projects similar to this, I just use this "Field-Level Psychiatry as an example to illustrate the motives of my heart.
Drawing from more than a decade of personal intensive study, a USMC Afghanistan deployment, one state univesity degree, a short stint in jail, nearly two years of homelessness, three DUIs, half a dozen failed utilitarian business ventures, and more than two years of first hand experiences with the VA hospital. This experience has opened my eyes to a whole new world.
My primary personal duty/mission in life is to help my fellow people in whatever means possible, this is called STO (service to others). My STO manifests itself in multiple always evolving ways. Primally as a teacher/writer among others.
"Field-Level" Psychiatry is a natural intuitive expression of my STO, a demonstration of my intelligence and also finely represents my moral duty to help posterity. Simple idea really, anyone in need of help that I meet throughout my life, I do what any decent christian would do; I help them in anyway that I can, even if I just point them in the right direction. This field-level psychiatry includes a brief mental health diagnosis using the 'intuitive method of diagnosis' closing with referrals to other mental health professional, doctors, clergy and/or whatever other resources that may be needed. Basicly I lend a sympathetic ear, kind genuine encourage, and I point them in the right direction. Over the years I've made connections, discovered valuable strategies and advice, build a respectable network while investigating everything resource that could be of some possible benefit to me. As a result I've become quite good at referring just about anyone for whatever their issue/need or problem maybe to people who can and want to help them. It's a special ability of mine that I use to help my fellow man. I do this out of love and moral obligation to service others in need...
Anyways the point is that the day has finally come that I graduate from Google Sites to real website development. I'd just like to say a special thanks to Google for holding onto my content over the years as I developed and grew. Now that I'm working with way more sophisticated technologies like Joomla! CMS, the presentation of my work has taken a giant leap forward. And as my consciousness, knowledge and technical skills continues to grow, something truly special is brewing :D I couldn't be more excited about life than to continue to devote all my love and attention to completing my work, fulling my purpose and if it is god's will, perhaps improve posterity in some however small but meaningful way....
I couldn't do it with my ADHBD medication (Ritalin and Marijuana). Thank you god for giving me this medication that allows me to do my work in your glorious name. Peace and Love

my position and reasons for my determinism
Just to follow up with my promise to actively earn my own honest livelihood, also earning my family's respect, faith and trust for that matter... or should I say 'restore' instead?

So I forward my recent correspondence with Richard. I point out that I directly asked for paid work.
All I ask of you now is that you try to appreciate and respect the difficult of my ambition and genuinely pray I have the needed courage and intelligence to complete my objectives. Seriously, take a few seconds to pray for me...
Just to rebuttal my position and reasons for my determinism, please read this and respond.
Google Translate Quiz [1]Que somos una familia racionalmente competente, inteligente liberal con mayor moral valores, empatía y compasión con grandes grandes corazones honestos.
traductor Google CUESTIONARIO número uno mamá, responder a todos [YAY!] si usted tradujo con éxito este.Muchas gracias. te amo mamá :)
Please let's not let something as trivial as a few bucks disrupt our harmony and steal our precious time together. I actually do have a competent plan here to support myself, I implore you both to trust me this time, genuinely encourage me regularly, and lend a modest amount of financial support at this "crucial career defining point of my life". I know I've said this before, and I wound up failing miserably time after time. I recognize that I've been delusional and grandiose in the past and that has thoroughly shaken your faith in me.
You have every right to doubt me this time and refuse support, possibly jeopardizing the outcome, repeating the pattern of failure and then repeat... I see that as a completely normal physiological response, including your subsequence negative reaction and default potential of creating a dangerous self fulling prophecy.
However I strive to personally evolve beyond that paradigm of negative thoughts process, and pessimistic outlook in favor of the clearly advantageous paradigm of passionate dedication, relentless perseverance and faith that god has a plan for me, and that it might look something like I envision it. That being the life I illustrated in my Article "My 5 Little Lifelong Goals: Importance of Goal Writing"
My POINT is that Paul either admittedly disagrees with my projected odds of success, thus making the need for an ignominious job moot. That must mean that Paul doesn't see/understand
that I can't, don't want to, apparently not capable of giving my attention and love to do anything that I don't either benefit from and/or believe in the end cause...
Most important reason that I am terrified about the prospect of being forced to divert my focus to finding, applying and then working some crappy job is that BECAUSE I AM CONSCIENTIOUSLY AGAINST the greedy capitalist concept of paying people as little as possible so that the elites can be as profitable as possible enriching themselves to the detriment of the other 99 percent of civilization.
After a tremendous amount of introspection of this conventional method of wealth distribution, I have determined that this capital system is not only unsustainable and immoral, but also inhuman and extremely dangerous to the human psyche. Logically after making this determination that capitalism is evil and unsuitable, I made the permanent personal determination and vow not to contribute or participate in this barbaric system unless absolutely necessary or if I should have alternative motives. My feelings about capitalism and my decision to not be a part of it has been greatly reinforced by the overwhelming amount of scientific and statistical evidence supporting my favor. This is who I have become and I am proud of it. I fear that the older generation of people have been too thoroughly brainwashed and disillusioned from the decades of media conglomerate propaganda that you've been subjected to, that the damage done is irreversible. Understanding this and accepting that the mass majority of the people in the world will never understand it, no matter how hard I try to teach them, is part of the double edge sword of personal enlightenment. I have faith that you have the capacity and desire to transcend obvious stupidity.
I am grateful that I, being born at the beginning of the information generation, that I may be young enough to be part of the first generation to begin the struggle to break free from outdated conventions and transcend into the next era of humanity. That is my vision of the future, and I am excited to be part of it.
Just be thankful that your kin is not just another sheep.

Greetings Richard,
Quick update: I continue my progress learning and managing Joomla. I have now tested just about every option, module and function that I could find. I am feeling much more comfortable with the whole process now. I do have a ton of questions.
I am a slow methodical learning, my goal is to truly comprehend html code structure/potential while learning Joomla CMS from the ground up. With my dedication and passion for this stuff, I can learn most of what I need primarily by myself from online forums and the such. I greatly appreciate your guidance and mentorship, I wouldn't be this far without you. (I don't want to waste your time, so I strive to save only the most pertinent questions for you.) Anyways, now I'm really starting to see the big picture and i couldn't be more thrilled...
So what's next? I have USMC Drill weekend this Sat and Sunday, which is good because I plan to hand out a dozen business cards or so to my fellow marines. I'm sure I'll generate some sales from my warm market down the road.
This is why I've been focusing all my energy on really grasping the groundwork for this "Beyond web development: message creating" stuff. I am wholly in tune with f (nt)'s philosophy. I aim to really hone my "html code crafting" as I call it. Best of all the byproduct of my practice is my own showpiece website! I am so excite about how my site /Clean has turned out.
That said I will be back Monday ready for duty, enthusiastic to utilize my newfound skills. How may I be of assistance to you Sir? My short term goal is to make at least $500 by the end of the month (my family doesn't understand success if they don't see money). I know that I need to bring in my own projects, and I'm confident that won't be a problem, but I know that is going to take some time... Is there anything that I can make a few bucks helping you with in the meantime?
This week I plan to finalize my first sales venture plan, continue my rigorous study of CMS and html. I'd love to start tackling CSS this week, now that I am much more acquainted with the syntax of html. I can be available anytime to webex with you. I'm still very interested in shadowing you for brief lessons on more advanced techniques wherever possible that I won't be in the way.
Okay, so one quick question... While experimenting with the Administrator Module Manager, I goofed up and lost the Toolbar Menu that allows me to SAVE. I've also seemed to have messed up the Control Panel screen and other options on the backend. I understand what's going on here, and I think the only way to fix it is to reload the template... Right? Which I don't know how to do. I also need a review on how to access the FTP, database, etc... Can you help me fix it? lol
Sincerest Thanks,
- DW Coon

5 Little Life Goals (In Writing)
"People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine." -Brian Tracy
My 5 Little Lifelong Goals (In Writing)
Writing exercise by DWCOONIf you're serious about a goal, you have to put it in writing. I cannot stress this enough. At least writing of some form. Email it to family, text it to a friend, blog it just for yourself, handwrite it in your journal or scratch it on a post-it note. Get your Goals in Writing!
And the fact is that if your too lazy or whatever to write down your goals then you aren't really serious about completing your goals. I don't know why your goals aren't already in writing if you really want them to become reality, but hey, but to each his own, I suppose.I strongly suggest that if you really want to achieve your goals, that you write something down everyday. Daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, yearly goals, 10 year goal or 20 year goals to name a few to get your brain thinking. Write down what you need to do, step-by-step in some cases to achieve your goals. Develop, evolue, elaborate your plan to accomplish small and big goals.
Write down past accomplishments and failures. Note what you did right, what you did wrong and what you would do differently next time. Set rewards for finishing small goals. If you put your mind to it, and take active EVERYDAY, I believe that you can achieve anything your imagination can dream up, that or you'll die trying.
Considering your alternative is that you do nothing and just see what life brings you (which by the way if that's not obviously the dumb choice, unfortunately that's what most people do by default).
So Goal Writing seems to be where it's at. Either you end up working a job you hate (soul-sucking job) with a life in the Bottom Tier of Consciousness (see 3 Tier of Consciousness reference link below) or make your dreams come true, it is really up to you what you do. And truthfully you're the only one that can make it happen.
And starting right now, today your life can go in either direction you choose. It all starts with goal writing or doing nothing...

That said, here is a little writing exercise I call:
My 5 Little Life Goals (In Writing)
Directions are self explanatory. I recommend doing this writing exercise at least once a month.Clarifying your 5 Life Goals every time.
