ABOUT THE RECOGNITION OF ATROCITY NOT ONLY WHEN MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BUT ALSO WHEN ONE PERSON IS AFFECTED.

I HAD MY EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS PROSPECTS DESTROYED SEVERAL TIMES.

BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY ME THAT THIS HAPPENED TO THERE IS NO RECOGNITION OF THE ANGUISH AND THE POVERTY THAT IS CAUSED BY THAT DESTRUCTION.

I REMEMBER THAT I WOULD FEEL THAT THE ME I WAS HAD BEEN KILLED.

WHEN MY HOUSE AND MY BUSINESS INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT WERE ELIMINATED, MY HOME AND ALL OF MY POSSESSIONS WERE NOT LESS GONE THAN A BOMBED BUILDING AND ITS CONTENTS ARE.

WHEN I WAS COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT OF CONTROL OF THE REBUILDING OF MY HOME AND MY BUSINESS LIVELIHOOD AND CREATIVE ARTISTRY I REMEMBER THAT I FELT OPPRESSED.

WHEN ALL OF THE TREES AT THE SOUTH EAST FRONT ACRE OF MY PROPERTY WERE CHOPPED DOWN AND TRUCKED OFF AND THE SOIL WAS STRIPPED IT LOOKED LIKE A BATTLE FIELD.

I REMEMBER THE DITCH THE REDNECKS DUG TO RUIN MY MEADOW, DEEPER THAN A BOMB CRATER.

I TRIED AS HARD AS I COULD TO REMEDY WHAT WAS DONE TO ME AND MY PROSPECTS AND PROPERTY BUT INSTEAD OF BEING MADE WHOLE I WAS DEFAMED.

TWICE I WAS KIDNAPPED AND HELD CAPTIVE. IT FEELS THE SAME IF A FALSE REPORT TO THE POLICE IS USED TO DRAG ONE OFF OR YOUR ABDUCTION WAS MOTIVATED BY VIOLENT POLITICALLY MOTIVATED TERRORISTS.

TO BE OVERWHELMED AND HELD AGAINST ONE'S WILL IS ALWAYS TERRIFYING.

WHEN EVERYTHING I OWNED WAS GONE, I PERSONALLY AND ACUTELY FELT BAD.
