32:45 David Carron of Ravencast writes (regarding Episode 57):The reality of any institution is that they work via generalities. As a result minority anythings (such as our tiny religion) gets the shaft.

That said, I have noticed a trend of PCP to poo poo all institutions and society in general. IMHO, there is no need to reject EVERYTHING. If we huddle > in the closet and spit on the world should we be surprised that folks look at us strangely?

Our best defense is good will. If we are a part of the community around us then we will not stand alone when it hits the fan.

BTW, a majority of what I do is Juvenile Law and I would be happy to help your guest with what I can. Please feel free to forward her my email.

Keep up the good work and I find your shows getting better as you keep to your topics.
