I just want to say that this is a really good idea for a nation, and I'm glad to see it's being handled well. I live in America, and America tends to be viewed as not too spiritual of an environment, even by Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite authors, atleast as far as myths and gods and
"old world" beliefs and superstitions go, but that's very much a miscomprehension. Like everywhere else, North and South America are saturated with myths and legends, heroes, gods, and monsters, and real people, right now today, are in touch with that. It's something that's important to me, and it's something that's often enough been mistreated and damaged, here, in Europe, in Asia, Africa, Australia. That connection is fragile and I like to see it respected, because I hold the belief-and I don't care what religion you belong to or don't belong to, whether you believe in something or don't believe in something or aren't sure-that the connection between us and the unknowable is what keeps us human.

Keep up the good work!
