As a person who spent a year in prison wherein I got my masters in spirit studies, I have to say that based upon my observations the truly dangerous ones are not those locked up. In fact, it wasn't another inmate, but rather a police state officer who sexually assaulted me at the prison. I was caged for a year in solitary confinement without sunlight or fresh air, even though innocent of all the charges against me. Nazis are the ones charged with keeping the police state happen in all its evil 😈 forms. If you don't like Nazis then you should be asking for the entire police state to be shut down. I'd love to join your pod-cast sometime to discuss that very matter. Reply

Dr. Pryce has a holy soul and is guided by integrity, but he implied that he wasn't raised with any basic moral standards. He did have parents. Why weren't they giving him character training and supervising his life? There seems to be much more to his story, including the details of his youth. He is so articulate. I'm sure that if he would write a book he would be a shining example and hold out hope to so many, Jews and non-Jews alike. Reply

in response to Rivkah:

I am sure he was raised with some sort of values, but just as any one who would following such join a gang, the education was shallow at best. In contrast to more active education to instill the values in a child - following such it would be hard to want to join a gang Reply
