Dear Matan & Stephen,

First off, I want to say my heart goes out to you. Both of you have received my admiration and respect. For I commend you for your acts of courage. These acts have earned you both punishment by the law, Point Blank. I agree with your opinions. It's in my belief, that everyone receives the right of choice without persecution. Are we not all humans? Shouldn't the choice not be left up to each person on the path their life takes? The answer to both questions are yes. Mr. Matan states that us individuals at this age should have the right to learn, work, go to parties & protests, meet people, fall in love, and argue about what the world should be like. Life should only be that simple. Living in America, you would think it's that simple. Yet what type of democracy makes the choice of enlisting in war for you & then punishes you if you don't obey. Doesn't it sound like a democracy to me. The rich gets into it with the rich from other countries then expects the poor masses to fight their battle. Surely this isn't right. Overall, just wanted to say I'm behind you 100%. I refuse to leave my fellow humans standing out when a wrong is trying to be right. I commend both of you. Hopefully more of you are produced and less punished.
