Born 12/04/1954. I am intelligent because I read a lot an have much older
siblings who taught me things about their childhoods and parents and
grandparents who taught me things too. When I say I read a lot I mean that
I'm always reading 2 books at a time, right now I'm reading The Life and
Misadventure of Moll Flanders when I'm out of the house, at home I'm
reading Stuart Woods Dead Eyes. The former is a classic, the later a who
dun it. When I finish Dead Eyes I'll start Hunting Eichman. I've read much
on the subject of Eichman and how Mosaad captured him and took him to
Israel for trial, but I've never read this version. Many times I'll read
different books on the same subject to see how each author tells the tale.

"Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism"
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are
merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high
mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When
people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth.
Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been
and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full
agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and
ever will be so..."

Golda Meir once said, "There will never be peace until the
Palestinians love their children more than they hate us."
