Robert,

On 16 Nov 2022, we stood on Coco Beach, and we were the only people for a hundred yards.

I watched you have a moment with the world.

Just before dusk settled in, a family of four arrived. When they walked past us, I noticed they were all wearing Make A Wish t-shirts.

At that moment, I was thrown into a funk. Over the years, I have become extremely empathetic, and realizing that one of the children is in the twilight of their brief life broke my heart.

You may not remember the family, but you did see the picture that I took of the family as they walked in front of us. I thought the picture turned out well, so I asked you to stand where the girl walked.

My despair continued while sitting on the Best Western balcony, you said, "I am so glad that I go to see man taking steps again towards becoming a space faring species."

I said that Musk just wants to die on Mars, and that I would not go to Mars until we fix the problems of living on Earth first. I gave Ukraine and the insurrection as examples.

You said that you did not see an insurrection, that capital police were waving people in. I said I saw that biased video, that is was Fox News propaganda, and the police had been overwhelmed at that point.

You said that the capital belongs to the people, "We the people", they had the right to enter the capital.

I said keep reading, "We the people, in order to make a more perfect Union.', that the capital is the Union's property just like the HOT lane on I-85.

You mentioned the right to bear arms, and I responded that if you read the full text the founders were clear that a well regulated militia was given that right, not the person. I said in the founders day, a militia was regulated by the state's governors.

You said that I was sounding like a right winger. I found this odd. I always thought that gun control was a left wing issue.

You said that you know that a woman was shot. I said yes, she was climbing through a broken window with a backpack into the area where the members of congress were being secured. She gave the policeman no choice.

I asked, "Do you know about the woman that was crushed to death by the crowd trying to get into the capital?"

You said that Trump had declassified the documents, and I said that there was no proof that Trump declassified the documents. I also said even if Trump declassified the documents, they are not Trump's personal property. The documents belong to the office of the president.

The fact of the matter is I am not the one that was making MAGA statements. You were using classic deflection. Each time I would challenge your viewpoint, you would raise another topic rather that deal with the previous issue.

You were making the same biased Fox News points over and over, and to not feed your desire to argue, I would interject one word, "No."

Not once did I tell you to stop speaking. Yet, when I would say no, you would respond that I was censoring you.

I said that you were wrong, that I am not censoring you. I am disagreeing with you.

In reality, you were telling me to not say no, that I was not allowed to speak until you had finished your point. Who was censoring whom?

You became aggressive saying, "By God. No one is going to censor me. I do not care who they are... Who do you think you are anyway?"

Who do I think that I am? Below are some of my accomplishments that speak for themselves.

On 7 Oct 1985, I was one of 500 amateur astronomers to be granted a certificate of recovery from the International Halley watch's Project Halley Search sponsored by Carl Sagan.

On 1 Apr 1997, I photographed the comet Hale-Bopp. My photograph was used on NASA's website for the day that Hale-Bopp was closest to Earth. To illustrate what a comet looks like, my photograph was published in a German College textbook.

Since I KonWell exactly who I am, I said, "It is a long walk home."

My comment was out of frustration, and my words were meant to give you a moment to reflect upon me being your ride. You were biting the hand that was feeding you.

Since you took my words as a threat, you began to spill your true thoughts.

Clearly you think that I am an asshole and were emphatic that several others think that I am an asshole too.

You were also very clear that you think I am a germaphobe and a right wing conspirator.

With me being the only person in the world that can draw a KnoWell, I have 100 percent become hyper focused on not dying from something preventable like Covid-19.

With pride, I admit that being an asshole to an insurrectionist is every American's duty.

Put yourself in the shoes of the capitol police officer that shot Ashli Babbit.

You are standing behind a set of double doors where on the other side the crowd has been chanting, "Hang Mike Pence"
