Mulling over LEE LOFASO to STEVE ASHER 11 Nov 2004

Hi Lee...

>>> Continued from previous message

SA>Whereas society is profoundly concerned with the recent weakening of
SA>these principles that has resulted in crises that beleaguer and
SA>threaten the fabric of civilized society;

SA>Whereas the justified preoccupation with these crises must not let the
SA>citizens of this Nation lose sight of their responsibility to transmit
SA>these historical ethical values from our distinguished past to the
SA>generations of the future;

 LL> No person or group has a monopoly on ethical or moral values. 

Nope.

SA>Whereas the Lubavitch movement has fostered and promoted these ethical
SA>values and principles throughout the world;

SA>Whereas Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, leader of the Lubavitch
SA>movement, is universally respected and revered and his eighty-ninth
SA>birthday falls on March 26, 1991;

SA>Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, `the rebbe', this,
SA>his ninetieth year will be seen as one of `education and giving', the
SA>year in which we turn to education and charity to return the world to
SA>the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and

SA>Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor
SA>signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state:
SA>Now, therefore, be it

SA>      Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
SA>United States of America in Congress assembled, That March 26, 1991,
SA>the start of the ninetieth year of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader
SA>of the worldwide Lubavitch movement, is designated as `Education Day,
SA>U.S.A.'. The President is requested to issue a proclamation calling
SA>upon the people of the United States to observe such day with
SA>appropriate ceremonies and activities.

 LL> Not everybody shares the same values as Lubavitch.  As such, why
 LL> should Lubavitch's values be imposed on others?

Because they are working themselves into a position where they can
impose their values ... backed up with legislation.

SA>Speaker of the House of Representatives.

 LL> How would the people of the United States go about observing such a
 LL> day? What ceremonies and activities would be deemed "appropriate"? 

Hmmm... drive "Mitzvah Tanks" around Washington & other cities, as well
as New York? ( http://www.tankparade.com )

Cheers, Steve..
