Re: Fasting (& Vegetarism)

-Dear Friend

I found what you had to say about fasting very interesting. I 
involuntarily fasted years ago, when travelling thru central Spain 
and had my wallet lifted in Madrid! I heard voices, not distinct but 
muttering. Any others experience this? The other point I take issue 
with is the following blurring of terminology when you said:

These people were not 'activists', they were terrorists, and they 
were not 'put in jail', they were convicted of terrorist atrocities, 
the one who died having bombed a bus station and killed innocent 
fellow Irish people. There were faults on both sides, but we need to 
be clear in our own minds where we stand on the taking of life to 
satisfy our own ends, No?
