I heard recently about this fella that had possibly been jailed unjustly for the last 8 years. An to date relatively quiet story, until Toyota's public image is raked over the coals. Just imagine sitting in his chair. For the last eight years he has had almost every minute of it available to think about the incredible injustice he has been handed, and how was it that he was chosen for this duty, in this consciousness? Talk about being handed your perspective on a platter. Here ya go son, master this. And the second perspective is that as I wrote very early on, I am still not completely convinced that this is not just some witch hunt. I understand that there is substantive evidence and that there have been the admissions of Toyota. But does the system have to go THAT hard after them? Or am I neglecting to comprehend the real damage done. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful that I have not had such horrible experiences as some are described. But I have a nagging that the fire that encircled this issue from day one was intense and damning. For me, it came way too fast and way too vengeful - from the beginning BEFORE all the subsequent evidence has been made known.
The nature of ourselves as humans will always retain primitive behaviours of protection and hoarding resources at a time of scarcity. The great Brown Bears of the MacNeil River in Alaska, or the Grizzlies feeding on a Bowhead whale carcass washed ashore west of Paulatuk in the Northwest Territories. Resources aplenty allow for co-existence without conflict. Those grizzlies were lying around like a couple of bachelors out after a tear, lying around drunk from the night before, gorging on whale blubber. Heaven on earth for a bear.
Our surroundings are beginning to show pockets and growing ones, of scarcity, and building negative energy. In any system, physical or spiritual, an imbalance of energy leads to a correction. And the correction of the past decades, the unwinding of all the prosperity has only begun. (photo John E Marriott via Canadian Geographic).

'Toyota Defense' Might Rescue Jailed Minnesota Man
Ever since his 1996 Toyota Camry shot up an interstate ramp, plowing into the back of an Oldsmobile in a horrific crash that killed three people, Koua Fong Lee insisted he had done everything he could to stop the car.
A jury didn't believe him, and a judge sentenced him to eight years in prison. But now, new revelations of safety problems with Toyotas have Lee pressing to get his case reopened and his freedom restored. Relatives of the victims — who condemned Lee at his sentencing three years ago — now believe he is innocent and are planning to sue Toyota. The prosecutor who sent Lee to prison said he thinks the case merits another look.
"I know 100 percent in my heart that I took my foot off the gas and that I was stepping on the brakes as hard as possible," Lee said in an interview Wednesday at the state prison in Lino Lakes. "When the brakes were looked at and we were told that nothing was wrong with the brakes, I was shocked."
Lee's accident is among a growing number of cases, some long resolved, that are getting new attention since Toyota admitted its problems with sudden acceleration were more extensive than originally believed. Numerous lawsuits involving Toyota accidents have been filed over the recent revelations, and attorneys expect the numbers will climb.
