I'm in the process of starting a social experiment via the web, and am in need of someone that can write really well. The details of the project is laid out on my website at www.accreation.org. I'm looking for someone that can edit the content in a more easily understandable format. Please visit the site, and contact me if you or someone you know might be interested in participating in the project. Thank you.

PS. This is NOT a paid position; I'm looking for like minded individuals who are interested in making this prjoect become a success. Thank you.

The Great American school of freedom thought me how to live, not by enforcing me to shave my head, put a ring on my finger, a thread on my wrist, tattoos, cover my head or say “hal-le-lu-jah” but making me feel that it is time to say I love all people, some can take the heat and some can't!





My chain of tragedy started when my digestive doctor didn't find any Bug in my colon but he was able to find some piece of cookies and describe some clicking sound which is still make me feel that someone is spying on me. A warrant less wiretap was clicking on my telephone every 30 second even before I sign The Patriot Act. Unconstitutional Acts were authorizes in my constitutional State of Connecticut which contributed pain in my chain of tragedy. until this day some people change my writing , words and block my writing .
