ANOTHER QUESTION FOR CRIME-DETERRENCE EXPERTS TO POSE: 'WHICH U.S. STATES, BY POPULATION CATEGORY, HAVE THE LOWEST PER-CAPITA INCIDENCE OF MASS MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MASS MURDER?

On behalf of my one-member (myself, only) and non-Christian crime-deterrence-minded "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", I am very hopeful that some national crime-deterrence-minded organization will conduct a nationwide study to identify which U.S. states have the lowest per-capita reported incidence of mass murder and of attempted mass murder.

The U.S. states that succeed the most at deterring mass murder and attempted mass murder should get special recognition and public praise, it seems to me.

I would welcome the day when some U.S. President presides over a ceremony in which that Chief of State publicly honors and praises the U.S. states, by population category, that have the lowest reported mass-murder rates and the lowest reported attempted-mass-murder rates.

THE WISDOM OF NEW YORK STATE'S TAXATION STRATEGY FOR DETERRING CIGARETTE CONSUMPTION, AS INDICATED BY THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH FROM A 'USA TODAY' REPORT OF 2016:

"To help curb tobacco use, many state governments levy heavy excise taxes — a tax the consumer pays when buying certain goods such as tobacco, alcohol, or gasoline. The states with the highest excise tax on tobacco products tend to have some of the lowest smoking rates in the country, suggesting these taxes may (be) effective in lowering the smoking rate. New York has the highest tax on cigarettes at $4.35 per pack — and one of the lowest smoking rates in the nation at 14.4%. West Virginia, by contrast, has the sixth lowest excise tax on tobacco, at 55 cents per pack."

That same "USA TODAY" article (above) notes that West Virginia reportedly has the highest tobacco-smoking rate of any state in the entire nation.

The above factual information was provided in an online "USA TODAY" article entitled "States with the most smokers". The article was written by "Steven Peters, 24/7 Wall St.", and published on June 18, 2016. "USA TODAY" is a daily newspaper published by Gannett, a media company headquartered in McLean, Virginia.

24/7 Wall St. is reportedly a USA TODAY "content partner offering financial news and commentary," an online statement explains. "Its content is produced independently of USA TODAY."

WHICH RURAL U.S. STATES AND WHICH DENSELY POPULATED U.S. STATES, RESPECTIVELY, EACH HAVE THE LOWEST ATTEMPTED-HOMICIDE RATES?

This public-policy-minded question should be asked, and needs to be asked, in order to help reduce the attempted homicide and homicide rates throughout our entire nation.

It seems to me that the U.S. states by population category that have the lowest ATTEMPTED-homicide rates are the states that have succeeded the most at discouraging or preventing ATTEMPTS at homicidal violence by residents of that state or visitors to that state.

This invites further research to identify the special services and programs and laws in each of those admirable states that have helped to prevent attempted homicide in their respective states.

I am also hopeful that my currently-one-member (myself, only) and non-Christian "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion" can confer an annual award on the U.S. states, by population category, in which the incidence of reported attempted homicide in the most recent 12-month period or two-year period was, in fact, the lowest in the entire nation for that population category.

The award could be entitled, "Best Homicide-Prevention States", with the single and very tangible criterion for that award being the lowest per-capita incidence of reported ATTEMPTED homicide in each of those states.

THE KIND OF NEW ROOMMATE OR NEW HOUSEMATE FOR ME WHO CURRENTLY RESIDES NEAR A BUS STOP IN AUSTIN AND WHO IS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND HERE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS:

--Someone age 18 or older willing to let me move in with him as his new roommate or housemate, and who calls to mind the term "a true gentleman" through his tactful honesty and kindness and refreshingly calm style.

--Someone who is comfortable with the fact that I myself am Anglo and white, with my own foreign nations of ancestry being England, Scotland, and Germany.

---Someone who will almost never or never verbalize profanity or obscene speech in everyday conversations inside our bolt-locked private residence or bolt-locked private apartment unit.

--Someone who is facially cleanshaven and hygienic and disease-free.

---Someone who appreciates the fact that I will NEVER consume or touch any portion of his own foods or beverages, and who himself also of course NEVER consumes or touches any portion of my own foods or beverages.

---Someone who consistently follows the policy of promptly cleaning up after himself.

---Someone who has no relationship of any type with tobacco products or with E-cigarettes or with marijuana or with so-called "medical" marijuana or with cocaine or with any other illicit drug.

---Someone who is either a complete and permanent abstainer from drinking alcohol or a light drinker, at most.

---Someone who will respond to any problem or conflict that ever arises inside our private residence in a factually-minded and polite and constructive manner.

---Someone who calls to minds the words "thoughtful" and "considerate" and "conscientious" and "empathetic" and "friendly" and "generous".

---Someone who does not have any felony criminal-conviction record, and who is diligently civil and law-abiding and admirably crime-deterrence-minded.

---Someone who is willing to promptly pick up a telephone inside our locked private residence and call 911 to report any factual evidence he ever directly observes at any time of any possible unwanted visitor or alleged intruder being physically present anywhere inside our apartment unit.

---Someone who is among the minority of Austin single men age 18 or older who actually support law-enforcement and who actually support deterrence of criminal activities that are allegedly perpetrated by others.

SOME WORDS OF PRAISE FOR THE 'NATURALLY FLAVORED HONEY NUT CHEERIOS MEDLEY CRUNCH' ('CHEERIOS' AND 'MEDLEY CRUNCH' BEING TRADEMARKED TERMS) CEREAL THAT REPORTEDLY FEATURES BOTH WHOLE GRAIN OATS AND WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT

I appreciate this tasty General Mills cereal for several reasons:

--It is more delicious than the vast majority of the healthful vitamin-rich cereals being offered for sale inside the H.E.B. chain supermarket in the section of northwest Austin where I currently reside.

---It allows me to enjoy the flavor and texture of whole grain oats without then depriving me of the medical health benefits from eating whole grain wheat.

---Whole grain oats, believed to help lower cholesterol levels, are the leading ingredient in this cereal.

---It contains zero grams of saturated fat per three-fourths cup or 32-grams serving.

---It contains zero grams of cholesterol per serving.

---It contains 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving, and 20 grams of whole grain per serving.

---There are 3 grams of protein per serving of this cereal.

---This cereal contains real honey and natural almond flavor as ingredients.

---The cereal is rich in the following vitamins and minerals: Potassium (110 mg per serving. or 3 percent of minimum daily dietary requirements for Potassium); Vitamin A (10 percent of minimum daily dietary requirements), Vitamin C (10 percent), Calcium (10 percent), Iron (25 percent), Vitamin D (10 percent), Thiamine (25 percent), Riboflavin (25 percent), Niacin (25 percent), Vitamin B6 (25 percent), Folic Acid (50 percent), Vitamin B12 (25 percent), Phosphorus (8 percent), Magnesium (8 percent), and Zinc (25 percent).

---The sodium level, 120 mg per serving, is lower than for most of the breakfast cereals being sold in American supermarkets.

---The sugar content, 9 grams per serving, is lower than for the vast majority of the breakfast cereals being sold in American supermarkets.

This cereal is "distributed" by General Mills Sales, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55440, USA.

More information about this cereal can be obtained by visiting the General Mills website address of GeneralMills.com .

More information about this cereal can also be obtained by calling 1-800-328-1144 and speaking with a General Mills staff member.

A 'PROGRESSIVE PROHIBITIONIST RELIGION' IDEA: REASONS FOR CELEBRATING AND EMBRACING YOUR ENTIRE BIRTHDAY MONTH, NOT JUST THE DAY OF THAT MONTH WHEN YOU WERE BORN

---Celebrating and delighting in your ENTIRE birthday month (all of April, for instance, if you were born in April) will boost your morale as a human being throughout that "special month" for you. You will feel a surge of personal renewal and rejuvenation throughout that entire month, since you have decided in advance to make every day of that month a source of delight for yourself and others.

---You will feel more generous toward others, since the natural tendency is to celebrate your entire birthday month in part by sharing with others. Receiving some presents on your birthday combines nicely with your showing appreciation to friends and relatives and friendly acquaintances throughout your entire birthday month.

---The month-long emphasis will help offset your feelings of disappointment if the birthday party you attended or hosted on the one day of that month when you were born did not go well for you.

---If you celebrate your entire birthday month, this will give you more excuses and opportunities for meeting with friends and relatives at some point during that month and having a pleasant conversation or friendly dialogue with them.

IDEAS FOR HOW TO HELP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BECOME MORE FULLY MODERN AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND NATURAL-RESOURCES-CONSERVING THROUGH A FULL AND COMPREHENSIVE NATIONWIDE CONVERSION TO THE METRIC SYSTEM:

----Write to your congressman or U.S. Senator and urge him or her to sponsor legislation that will help to accelerate the process for nationwide conversion to the metric system throughout the United States.


---Urge the United States Congress and President of the United States to sponsor and help finance a study on the expected economic and environmental and societal benefits to American society and to Americans from full and comprehensive nationwide conversion to the metric system.

---Send a letter of thanks to the city or county in your state where conversion to the metric system has been pursued or achieved the most extensively, or, at the very least, where promotion of conversion to the metric system has been the strongest.

---Help sponsor a public-service announcement on your local radio station or on television that calls listeners' and viewers' attention to the many advantages to be accrued from full conversion to the metric system in your city, county, state, and nation.

---Urge your school board to offer an annual award to the teacher in your school district who has contributed the most successfully toward helping to educate youths on the metric system and why learning the metric system is invaluable to their own and American society's future.

---Help co-sponsor an essay-writing contest in your city or county or state in which schoolchildren and high school students are each invited to submit an essay describing why they believe that conversion to the metric system will be a major boon to this entire country.

---Join or establish a non-profit civic group that seeks to promote nationwide conversion to the metric system as soon as possible.

--Ask bakers in your city or town to offer for sale packages of 10 rolls, rather than 12, as a way of helping to promote a full and comprehensive conversion toward a metric mindset in your city or town.

---Refrain from using the term "baker's dozen" and instead refer to a "baker's ten."

---Ask Subway Sandwiches restaurants to drop the term "foot-long" in referring to the size of their longer sandwiches, and to instead label those sandwiches in terms of centimeters or meters.

---Help to sponsor or hold educational workshops that call young persons and others' attention to the historical fact that encourages participants to study the following online webpage by a federal agency in 1997:

https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/documents/pml/wmd/metric/1136a.pdf

That webpage from a U.S. Government agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, begins by stating:

"The United States is now the only industrialized country in the world that does not use the metric system as its predominant system of measurement.

"Most Americans think that our involvement with metric measurement is relatively new. In fact, the United States has been increasing its use of metric units for many years, and the pace has accelerated in the past three decades. In the early 1800's, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (the government’s surveying and map-making agency) used meter and kilogram standards brought from France. In 1866, Congress authorized the use of the metric system in this country and supplied each state with a set of standard metric weights and measures.

"In 1875, the United States solidified its commitment to the development of the internationally recognized metric system by becoming one of the original seventeen signatory nations to the Treaty of the Meter...."

'PROGRESSIVE PROHIBITIONIST RELIGION' PROJECT OF FUTURE: SPONSORSHIP OF A SPECIAL NEW SUICIDE-PREVENTION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL-DEPRESSION-PREVENTION AUDIOTAPE WITH NUMEROUS JOY-INDUCING SONGS AND SONGS THAT PROMOTE OPTIMISM AND CHEERFULNESS

I feel very confident that my currently one-member (myself, only) and non-Christian Progressive Prohibitionist Religion will eventually sponsor the development and distribution of a new audiotape that contains a variety of popular songs and other songs that can help to inspire a sense of joie de vivre and, at the very least, a greater sense of optimism and cheerfulness, in listeners.

This proposed suicide-prevention audiotape and psychological-depression-prevention audiotape project, would, of course, involve full legal permission being obtained through each of the featured singers and their recording studios, along with payments of money to the featured singers or recording studios, when applicable.

This is one type of very tangible life-saving public service that the Progressive Prohibitionist Religion (PPR) can proudly offer to persons of a wide variety of ages and backgrounds, including a wide variety of religious or political beliefs.

Proceeds from sale of the proposed audiotapes could be donated exclusively to suicide-prevention hotline services throughout the United States and Canada and Mexico.

Because the proposed new audiotape will be sponsored by an implicitly-deistic religion and non-atheistic, PPR, and because PPR discourages excessive use of abstract nouns that refer to a deity per se, the songs my religion will select will be songs with freshness and originality that as much as possible offer tangible images that can be seen or heard during one's lifetime.

Songs that feature as little piano playing and as little electric guitar playing as possible will also be more likely to be selected for this PPR-sponsored anthology. PPR favors promotion of pleasant-sounding ALTERNATIVES to the piano and electric guitar and organ as much as possible---the flute, the clarinet, the saxophone, the piccolo, the wooden recorder, the oboe, the trombone, the trumpet, the harp, the cello, the violin, etc.

Among the many songs that might be appropriate for this type of anthology audiotape are:

---"You've Got a Friend," as sung by professional singer James Taylor of the United States;

---the same song, "You've Got a Friend," as sung by professional singer Carole King of the United States;

---"Michael from Mountains," as written and sung by Joni Mitchell of Canada;

---"Gracias a la Vida," as sung in Spanish by the Spanish-American folk singer Joan Baez.

---"Here Comes the Sun," as written and sung by the English rock group "The Beatles".

---"Beautiful," as written and sung by the American professional singer Carole King.

---"Morning Morgantown" as written and sung by Canadian native Joni Mitchell.

OVERHEARD IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: A SEMI-FICTIONAL EAVESDROPPER'S REPORT AS IMAGINED BY A FORMER RESIDENT OF THE BOSTON AREA NOW RESIDING IN TEXAS

----"My cardiologist says that unless I can eat cheesecake that's down to 0.5 gram of saturated fat per serving, I am prohibited from enjoying our official city cake. Maybe I should contact my cardiologist's nurse and ask her if she has any recipe for very-low-saturated-fat cheesecake. It makes sense to eat cheesecake at least once per month, since it would feel unpatriotic here not to celebrate our Official City Cake on a regular and year-round basis. At least, I'm assuming this is our Official City Cake. Maybe I should check our New York City Almanac online, if there is an online reference book with that title that I can quickly consult for this info I need. There probably was a City Council vote several decades ago that made Cheesecake our Official City Cake."

--"You remind me. I'm assuming that our City Council meetings generally feature a Cheesecake-slicing tradition in which each Council member is invited to specify whether he wants a sliver or a bigger slice of New York's finest cheesecake, with an official City
Government of New York slicer then handing out cheesecake slices to each Council member based on their requested size. If there is no such cheesecake-eating event at our Council meetings, it would be a squandered opportunity for promoting our city's most marketable item---our cheesecake. The other point is that the cheesecake-eating portion of our meetings might promote greater harmony among Council members when the meeting resumes. This would promote a higher success rate on proposed new ordinances getting approved by our City Council."

---"Which month of the year do you think is the best for hosting a cheesecake party here? I'm assuming that summer is best, since cheesecake tends to be served cold. But maybe I'm mistaken. Maybe there is a place for a heated cheesecake, which might make it ideal when the temperature is 5 degrees below zero outside."

---"When I look at all the rampant chaos and criminal mischief throughout our city, I can't decide if it was the Joker, Cat Woman, or the Penguin who inflicted all of that on our city. This is assuming that we are, in fact, the mythical Gotham City where Batman reigns."

---"There might be a market for Gotham City postcards, featuring photographs of New York combined with mug shots of the Joker, Cat Woman, and the Penguin. It would be funny to write 'Wish you were here' on those postcards, then send the card to a relative of yours who adores Batman."

--"Maybe there should be a Gotham City amusement park that gives kids a chance to ride in the Batmobile. That type of commercial venture could bring millions of tourist dollars to our city every year."

---"My primary worry about the proposed Gotham City amusement park here is that it might encourage all the children of New York to pretend they're Batman or Robin and fight crime on their own without calling 911. It would be very tragic if the youths of our city put on a cape and tried to fight crime on their own. Vigilanteeism is flagrantly illegal, and the crime suspect is likely to get very violent when cornered by a caped-crusader child. Instead, our city's children need to remember to simply dial 911 and briefly describe the crime scene they observed to a 911 dispatcher who will then send actual officers to the scene."

---"This is all based on the assumption that their parents are not around to make that phone call for our city's admirably vigilant children and teenagers."

Subject: text of signed 1-22-19 official OAG letter to Travis County DA re: my PIR complaint vs DA

(A respectful FYI to each of you civic leaders and government officials on the following very recent legal correspondence involving the Attorney General of Texas (OAG), the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, and myself, public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas. My home phone number: (512) 342-2295. My e-mail address: mcmillanj@att.net. My current home address: Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 1609, Austin, TX 78759.

With three minor exceptions, the body of the January 22, 2019, OAG letter directly below is exactly the same as the body of the courtesy carbon-copy of the two-page hard-copy signed legal letter that I received by U.S. Postal Service mail delivery this Thursday, January 24, 2019, to my apartment unit's designated mailbox in northwest Austin.

Those three exceptions, each of them in the second paragraph directly below, are: insertion of the clarifying phrase "November 28, 2018-dated, e-mailed public-information" in parentheses, immediately before the word "request"; insertion of "see below" immediately after the word "request"; and, later in that same paragraph, insertion of my own full legal name and my current city and state of residence in parentheses immediately after the first reference to "the requestor".

As a convenience to each of you, I have also chosen to include (see last item, below) the full exact verbatim text of my November 28, 2018, e-mail public-information request to the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas.---jkm)

Dear Travis County District Attorney's Office Open Records Requests Administrator in Austin, Texas,

This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications that respective high-ranking officials Don Clemmer, Gregg Cox, Dayna Blazey, Mike Lummus, Beverly Matthews, and Dexter Gilford of your Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, have each written or received at any time since January 3, 2017, and that, in each and every such case, referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin.

EXCLUDED from the scope of this public-information request are any and all written communications that were exclusively and solely written by myself, John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin.

I am a gainfully-employed, permanently-drinking-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, single adult Anglo male resident of the same county government precinct---precinct 3---in which Travis County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty resides. Mr. Daugherty, a Republican, reportedly is the primary county commissioner who officially represents me on the Travis County Commissioners Court.

On September 14, 2018, I received a surprising E-mail letter from Travis County Assistant County Attorney Ann-Marie Sheely. That letter directly stated to me in writing for the first time ever that County Commissioner Daugherty's office in recent years sought and obtained legal advice from attorneys of the Travis County Attorney's Office in regard to myself.

That disclosure to me was offered in the context of an official September 14, 2018, signed legal letter submitted by Ms. Sheely to the Attorney General of Texas on behalf of Commissioner Daugherty, a copy of which was provided to me by Ms. Sheely. Her legal letter sought official permission from that state agency for County Commissioner Daugherty to withhold from me records of those legal consultations his office had had with the county attorney's office in regard to myself.

On April 27, 2015, a birthday for me, I was interviewed in person at your Travis County District Attorney's Office by two DA's Office "Critical Incident Unit" investigators, Lt. Roger Dean and Sergeant Jose Ballesteros.

On September 26, 2014, I signed for and received inside the Balcones Post Office along Jollyville Road in northwest Austin a certified-delivery official September 23, 2014-dated, signed legal letter on official Travis County District Attorney's Office letterhead that was directly addressed to me.

That letter was written and signed by Travis County Assistant District Attorney Rob Drummond. That official DA's Office letter addressed to me directly cited "your complaint of December 18, 2013, regarding the conduct of the Austin Police Department."

That same certified-delivery legal letter to me from your DA's Office in Austin also stated, among other things, that "Our inquiry revealed that APD continues to maintain the evidence gathered on December 22, 2011. In addition, they have noted that the Travis County District Attorney's Office has requested the said evidence continue to be maintained. This resolves our inquiry. As we explained to you, the decision as to how to utilize investigative resources in a sexual assault allegation falls within the purview of the Austin Police Department. Therefore, we believe our involvement in this matter is concluded and our office will take no further action.
"Sincerely,
"Rob Drummond
"Assistant District Attorney
"Travis County".

My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska.

I have resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.

I am a former full-time employee here in Austin of the "Texas Department of Public Safety" state law-enforcement agency. I am also a former full-time employee here in Austin for the "Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles" and the "Texas Department of Criminal Justice" state agencies, respectively.

I am also the founder and only current approved member of a new and non-Christian and implicitly-deistic "Honor Society" religion --- a religion publicized on local community-access television throughout the greater Austin area around the turn of the century. Several persons in the Austin area have told me they either dislike my religion intensely or do not regard it as comprising an actual or true religion.

That religion of mine is anti-drinking-alcohol and anti-tobacco and anti-marijuana, anti-medical-marijuana, anti-facial-hair-minded, anti-tattoos-minded, opposed to anonymous communications that are inflicted on someone against his wishes, opposed to deliberately fraudulent communications, anti-noise-pollution-minded, anti-thought-control-projects-minded, and anti-stalking, and also adamantly opposed to sexual assaults.

My religion, the "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", has very stringent membership-eligibility guidelines.

During the time period applicable to this public information request, I myself resided as an official rent-paying tenant or official rent-paying occupant at the following apartment units:

---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 9, Apt. 902, Austin, Texas, 78759, the home address for me from late September 2015 until early September 2017.

---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 16, Apartment 1609, Austin, Texas, 78759, the home address for me ever since early September 2017, including at present.

I hope to hear from you soon in response to this public-information request from myself.


Please let me know as soon as possible if you sense that you might have to charge me more than $20 in administrative fees you expect to incur from processing this public-information request from myself.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a former resident of the Boston area of Massachusetts who is myself a certified direct descendant of the Rev. William Brewster---the great Puritan religious leader who served as Head Chaplain on the Mayflower and as an adviser to Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford in what is now the U.S. Commonwealth or state of Massachusetts.

My current home address: Village Oaks Apts. (a NW Austin apartment complex reportedly owned by a highly-regarded for-profit corporation that's headquartered in Newton, Mass.), 10926 Jollyville Rd., Bldg. 16, Apt. 1609, Austin, Texas, 78759.

THE LATEST IMAGINARY EAVESDROPPER'S REPORT FROM NEW YORK CITY: A SEMI-FICTIONAL ACCOUNT FROM A FORMER BOSTONIAN CURRENTLY RESIDING IN TEXAS

---"I am trying to teach my 8-year-old daughter to learn world geography as quickly as possible. So each month I will sponsor one special dinner in our household that's dedicated to the theme of getting to know a foreign nation that Sherry hasn't studied yet. I will cook several dishes using recipes from that foreign country. I will also post a tiny flag on the dinner table that has the official flag design for that foreign nation. Sherry likes to joke that she should get extra credit from her social studies teacher for traveling the world just by sitting down at our family dinner table. And who knows? Maybe she'll be working for the State Department someday. Maybe she'll be stationed in France for most of her career, so I'll have the perfect excuse for traveling to France every year and pigging out on the food there."

---"To me, a truly generous mother will treat her daughter or son to a free teleconference video-display phone conversation with a staff member from the Embassy of the foreign nation that my child is studying in class. A truly generous mother would ask her son or daughter to jot down questions in advance that he or she plans to pose to that representative for a foreign country. For instance, if it's Japan my daughter is studying, I would urge her to jot down the question, 'What are the advantages to eating seaweed every week, as you Japanese people do?'"

---"His efficiency apartment in Manhattan is so tiny that Fred could suffocate just by going to bed inside his unit. It's not as if Fred is the only one consuming oxygen inside his unit. There are almost always several mice and cockroaches there who are also competing with Fred for oxygen. Fred is so used to seeing mice in his apartment that he's started naming them as if they were pets of his. He just can't get rid of them, no matter what he does. Maybe he should wear an oxygen mask while lying on his bed every night, to make sure he gets enough oxygen to get through the night safely."

--"I hate it when the mice and cockroaches crawl onto my bed while I'm lying alone on my bed at nighttime inside my apartment unit. But fortunately, they never bite when they get onto my bed at that hour. Maybe they're grateful for the cheese I've started leaving on a counter in the kitchen, as one way to placate my zoological specimen roommates. My long-term goal is to train them to stay completely off my bed at nighttime. After they finally stop hopping onto my bed during my sleeping hours, I plan to sponsor a party celebrating that major progress for me here. I might even do some research to find out which type of cheese appeals to my mice roommates the most, and then offer that cheese as an appetizer at the party."

---"One of the reasons I am suspicious about my current apartment situation is that I wake up several times per night with an unpleasant vibrating sensation in my anus. I don't own any vibrator of any type, and in my entire life, I have never once applied a vibrator to my anus. I sometimes worry that the CIA is out to get me, and has decided to torture me during my sleep. Or possibly it's a very sly organized crime group or very unethical and sadistic media company or some militant group that attempts to commit homicide in slow motion so that no one would ever actually identify it as a homicide. 'Death by natural causes', they are hoping some incompetent coroner will declare someday."

 --"You can always tell very quickly whether I trust my current Hispanic roommate here in Manhattan. All you have to do is open the kitchen refrigerator and look for my designated shelves. If you notice black Magic Marker lines drawn on any bottle or any container that appear to coincide with the current level of any given food item or beverage item on those shelves, this indicates that I myself don't fully trust that particular roommate. But I don't have any way of electronically surveillancing the entire kitchen in order to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that my own concerns about roommate Pedro from Puerto Rico have a legitimate basis in reality."

---"I need to develop an exotic hobby in order to meet New Yorkers who also have that hobby. I like the idea of joining their Exotic Hobby club for monthly meetings. I just have to decide which exotic hobby I could cite for myself that would give us a solid basis for getting together during our leisuretime and feeling a deeper sense of camaraderie than you normally get here. One idea I've come up with is to establish a Documentary Films Club. Each meeting, one of our members would show our entire group a favorite Documentary Film of theirs. That could be enlightening. It could also be very depressing, though, depending on what the subject of the documentary is. We could make sure we offer foods at our meetings that are natural anti-depressants. I have read that oysters can help a person avoid getting depressed, so I plan to offer oyster appetizers at the meetings I host."

---"I find it fascinating that with all the New Yorkers who've told me they have met Christ, they never tell me what Christ was wearing at the time of that meeting. New Yorkers are very fashion-conscious, so you would expect them to specify whether the Christ they've met was wearing sandals, for instance, and if so, did this witnessing of his fashionable sandals outdoors take place in 30 degree weather?"

---"My taxi drivers find me so interesting to chat with that they will actually offer to pay me for riding with them. It's good to sense that they find me entertaining. But it occurs to me that some of those drivers may have an ulterior motive. They may be trying to land a hot date with me. I need to decide in advance whether I will always say 'no' to any such hot date offer from my taxi driver. But there may well be a very rare exception in which my saying 'no' would be a mistake. In that situation, I would make sure that I pick a well-lit restaurant for meeting him on that date. I would also inform him in advance that I won't permit any physical contact with him of any type on our first or second date. Not even a handshake. That might be one way to keep everything from going out of control."

---"If you do get knocked up by a taxi driver, if you'll pardon my bluntness on the subject, the only consolation I can see is that he'll give you a very fast ride to the hospital when you need to make a sudden trip to the baby-deliveries ward. Taxi drivers in New York can always be counted on to exceed the speed limit for you, regardless of the situation. They're aspiring professional race car drivers driving taxis here until they land a deal for a gig at the Indy 500."

Subject: Fw: 1-22-19 state-referral sought from National Governors Assoc.


A respectful FYI to each of you on the following letter I've written and e-mailed to the National Governors Association in Washington, D.C.
Please note, below, that the cited TDCJ state agency staff attorney who earlier this century urged me to move away from Austin, Texas, was, in fact, State Bar of Texas member attorney Jim Frazier. I have previously documented that phone conversation I had with Mr. Frazier in an October 5, 2015, e-mail public-information request that I wrote and submitted to the TDCJ state headquarters in Huntsville.
It was attorney Jim Frazier who on his own initiative advised me on the telephone from his state agency office earlier this century (during a long-distance phone call I made to his TDCJ office from my rental apartment unit at that time at Wind River Crossing Apartments in northwest Austin) to myself purchase or buy a home for myself in Huntsville, Texas, and then promptly relocate from Austin to Huntsville. His cited reason for that legal advice to me that I buy a home in Huntsville was that "the people of Austin are not friendly enough toward you, John (McMillan)" (a near-exact quote).
I would welcome any reply note on any aspect of this legal correspondence that any of you are willing to offer me.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.

Dear Very Distinguished and Honorable "National Governors Association" Representatives in Washington, D.C.,

Best Wishes to each of you in your very diligent service to and communications with each of our nation's governors and their staff members.

I myself am a gainfully employed, dependably civil and law-abiding, permanently drinking-alcohol-free (on a continuous basis ever since 1990) and always sober, anti-marijuana-minded and anti-illicit-drug-minded, lifelong-tobacco-free and anti-tobacco-minded, facially cleanshaven (no beard, no mustache, no goatee) and anti-facial-hair-minded, consistently clean-talking (no profanity verbalized by me in my everyday conversations with others or written communications to others), lifelong-tattoo-less and anti-tattoos-minded, single-by-choice, Anglo adult gentleman of English, Scottish, and German ancestry. I do not have any criminal-conviction record, and I am a former full-time employee in Austin of the Texas Department of Public Safety state law-enforcement agency, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles state agency, respectively. I currently am employed exclusively in the restaurant industry here in Austin.


One highly-esteemed State Bar of Texas member private attorney, himself an Anglo gentleman in Austin, Texas, in a recent prior year advised me on the telephone to leave Texas and move to another U.S. state. He did not specify which other state he recommended for me.

On November 8, 2010, according to my legal notes that I have kept on file inside my apartment unit, State Bar of Texas member attorney Brian Walters (and it is possible that he was also the same attorney who later advised me to move away from Texas) very kindly volunteered to me during a telephone conversation I had with him before meeting with him in his law office in
Austin, that alleged violations of my own privacy rights in Austin, Texas, at that time comprised "criminal" conduct by others that victimized myself, Mr. Walters stated. Mr. Walters made that helpful comment to me in the context of my civilly-worded complaint to him about alleged continuous noise pollution and alleged anonymous communications by others being inflicted on me against my wishes in Austin, Texas.

I myself have never been informed of any arrest of any suspect by the Austin Police Department; the Travis County Sheriff's Office; the Williamson County Sheriff's Office that is based in Georgetown, Texas; the Texas Rangers Division of the Texas Department of Public Safety; the Texas DPS; the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in connection with any of the cited "criminal" activity or activities allegedly victimizing myself in Austin at any time thus far in my own life.

One kindly cousin of mine in Iowa, Jim Dane, a married gentleman and a very honorable farmer, did helpfully and kindly volunteer to me in the late 1990s, during a long-distance phone call I made to his Johnson County, Iowa, home near Iowa City from my rental apartment unit in Austin near the main campus of UT-Austin, that Cousin Jim was privy to factual information about myself being victimized during that time period by frequent criminal activities in Austin, Texas, Cousin Jim stated with kindly concern from his end of the phone line.

I might add that several years ago, a staff attorney for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Huntsville, kindly volunteered to me on the telephone that Austin has not been "friendly" enough toward me, he said, and for that reason he recommended to me that I purchase a home for myself in Huntsville and move to that Texan city, he advised. I can readily obtain the name of that State Bar of Texas member attorney, if any of you would like that factual information.

Yet another highly-esteemed State Bar of Texas member attorney, Mr. Delmar Cain, the General Counsel for Texas A&M University System, in the late 1990s wrote a multi-page memo about me on behalf of Texas A&M System that I obtained through a public-information request to his university system. That memo from Mr. Cain directly and specifically explored the question of whether he should file a lawsuit on my behalf because of cited "anonymous obscene communications" to which I was being subjected against my wishes in Austin, Texas. Mr. Cain concluded his official memo by stating that he decided against filing a lawsuit for me, with his only cited reason being that Mr. Cain questioned whether I was myself "sincere" about seeking to befriend the city of Austin, that Texas A&M System attorney stated in writing.

As each of you National Governors Association officials is no doubt very aware, Austin is the capital city of Texas. Austin is also the place where the Texas Legislature holds its sessions, including at present.

I would be very grateful to your very influential nationwide organization if any of you influential NGA officials would please offer me a tentative referral to ANY U.S. state that you believe would be more respectful of my own privacy rights and a safer, kinder, friendlier place for me to live in than the state of Texas reportedly has been.


I should mention that I am the only approved member of a new and non-proselytizing religion with very stringent membership-eligibility requirements, the non-Christian and implicitly-deistic, non-atheistic "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion". That one total religion of mine opposes anonymous communications violating the privacy rights of the recipient of those communications, opposes medically injurious noise pollution, opposes the use of noise pollution as a means of harassing or punishing or abusing or hounding or stalking anyone, opposes the felony crime of stalking, opposes thought-control projects or brainwashing projects, opposes home-invasion crimes, opposes personal-injury-crimes, opposes sexual assault crimes, opposes fraudulent or medically injurious "medical services", opposes arranged marriages and slavery, opposes compelled speech involvements being forced on anyone (with one notable exception to that being subpoenas that are issued to witnesses who are then legally required to testify in a courtroom), opposes verbalization of death threats to anyone, opposes fraudulent communications being presented as "factual information", opposes the infliction of a "deprogramming" project on a person against his wishes or the kidnapping or hostage-taking of any adult person, opposes the deliberate infliction of physical pain or torture or "punitive services" on anyone during their sleeping hours as they lie alone on their own bed, asleep and unconscious, inside their locked residence.

Thank you in advance for any reply note on this that any of you National Governors Association representatives or members are willing to offer me at this time.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.
