This stanza reminded me that I hadn't shared Ross Ulbricht's petition.

Who in their prison cell, having been there for many more years than he should, takes a seed from an apple, and germinates it?

Someone with hope, is the answer.

Ross made a mistake.

He didn't kill anyone.

2024 is Ross's 11th year in prison. During his incarceration, he has been a model prisoner and helped others. He deserves a second chance at life. He would never, never break the law again.

So now, thanks to you, John, I am going to post his petition in the hope we can shift opinion.

Thanks for the hint.
