Museum No 4001, and museum Ottawa June 27th July 1835 of revolution had worked itself out, although the result seemed like a disaster; not only independence was lost, but civilization itself collapsed. The consequences were severe. After that one sees an attitude of despair in our relations with the world and ourselves. I believe we are too far gone to do anything about it. The year 2008 has passed since I began to study the problem, and I have seen no solution. We need a new way of thinking, but our minds are not yet ready for that. We must find a better way to live. July 19th I was finally told something about my case in court this morning. The judge said he would give me a week's time to think over his decision. He also mentioned that if I could show any evidence of having been wronged by the government, I might get some compensation. But there is little hope of this, since the records have been destroyed or lost. I am very worried about what will happen next.
