I am directing this comment to Mr. Kevin Smith and I understand that others will be reading it, and I can only hope that this gets to him. I suffered a severe back injury in late 1999. I was bed-ridden for close to two years, during which I watched my dreams and my body start to deteriorate. I slipped into a crippling depression. There was not a single thing that made me happy anymore, and it actually hurt me to force a smile, but I did so so I could put my families minds at ease. I found that I was contemplating the unthinkable, and just days before I would have enough pills saved up to do the deed, the woman who would later become my wife brought me Dogma home from the video store. I laughed. It was orignal, it made me happy again to get my mind off all the crap that was going wrong in my life. You saved my life Mr. Smith, and I thank you for that.
