I first shared it with the world back when I first started blogging in 2010. With the current issues involving the environment, I felt like I needed to share it again. It is a bit tongue-in-cheek, and maybe not a […]
I was born in Boston Massachusetts. This pins several labels on me: Bostonian, Masshole (to some), American, Yankee, New Englander … to name a few. My mother was Jewish. This pins other labels on me: Jew, Zionist (to some) … plus some negative ones … yid, cheap skate, killer of Jesus … to name a few. I am anti […]

Material resources may have a varying value, depending on one’s needs, but without the proper information they qualify as nothing more than wishful thinking. So the true art of governing, the art of creating a […]
I generally don’t judge people. In my mind everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions, and I will respect their beliefs and opinions as long as they equally respect mine. I have no problem even discussing our differences, as long as we both are willing to hear the other side, and at least […]
