"Well, what is sanity but a social construct? Society decides what is sane and insane, and by Red Infinity's laws, rebelion against the government is a form of insanity. And in some cultures, certain mental illnesses were seen as blessings..."
I float over to Noe.
" The LIF isn't exactly known for its mental health. But I will admit that some of our members have some issues...but, who doesn't really? So what should we talk about?"

"I never claimed my own organization was a stable mental block. I would like to hear about why you do what you do. Knowning one's peers can prove to be useful."

"That is hard to explain in one short conversation. I do what I do because I care about people and want a better world. I think that is something that moves many people. I am an anarchist because I have seen how socialism has failed and only lead to corrupt governments. The world can not be classless unless all classes are destroyed, and that means the destruction of differences in power as well as the destruction of differences in wealth. I also believe that no human is capable of ruling another. We can all become self governing individuals if given the chance." I explain to Noe. I am uncertain if he understands of if this is the answer to his question.
"As for being a pacifist, I think that change can be accomplished without violence, and that violence is characteristic of capitalism the very system we should estrange ourselves from. But I feel that lasting peace can not be acheived in this world until we are all equals in power and in class."
My image flickers a little.
"Is that what you wanted to know?"

"Basically, very nice. You seem to be flickering a bit. Are you alright? Oh, and tell me, can you physically interact with your surroundings?"

"I am fine, at first I could not move things at all, but now with concentration I can move small objects such as papers, books, or coins. I flicker because I am tired or hungry, but I am always restless and of course, I can not eat."

"Yes, one of the side effects of being intangable. I might be able to help with that eventually. So why did you work with the FRA?"

"I worked for Sherman Holmes in order to buy a printing press for Zinn. He is a member of the FRA. Other than that, I never worked for the FRA. I am, in fact, against them because of their propensity to use force. It is their inclinition towards violence that caused my death."

"Yes. They shot you with a battle ship cannon if I remember correctly. Well, that clears up something else. So what have you been up to since you died?"

"I have been visiting people. I visited with Lady Blue, Sherman Holmes, Rodthingy Maestro, and now you. I always liked talking with people so this gives me more mobility to do this. I have noticed that most people can not sense me, which can make communication frustrating."

"You should have done more in your living time to reach other planes. It's actually not that difficult to manipulate the material plane with a little effort. Perhaps you would like to learn a little?" Noe fades out, becoming etheral. He glances down at himself then offers his hand, "That should make a hand shake easier."

I reach out to shake his hand but really don't understand what he is talking about. I certainly had no time in my life to travel or learn of other planes.
But if he wants to teach me how to manipulate objects in this one, I will try to learn.
"I am not heartbroken that I can not move things. But I can try to learn a few things from you."

"You don't have a desire to be able to effect the physical world? Well, then what is it that you intend to do?"

I smile.
"Noe, my words can move things in ways that my flickering, transparent body can not. I have all the power in the world to move things so long as I have a voice to be heard."

"But you said yourself that many can not hear you. Perhaps the best thing for you to learn then would be to make your body physical once more. Then you would be able to speak with anyone."

"True, but could I travel anywhere at any time? I am as I am now for some purpose and in time I will learn everyting I need to know. I miss human touch the most. But I will overcome. And when people can not hear me, then maybe it was meant that I was not to speak with them. All of this has a purpose. There is a reason driving the state of my existance."
" Forgive me Noe, I feel very philosophical at the moment. I was a spiritual and political philosopher of a kind. Being dead and liberated from my body, has set me back into my soul and mind. Maybe this was all meant to be..."
