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 […]
To me, it is the ultimate arrogance … or maybe self-delusion for any one human to believe that they single-handedly can change the course of humanity. For others to think the same of another, well … I am not sure if that is naiveté, wishful thinking, or simply and willful release of self-responsibility. It drives me insane when people lay the blame of everything […]
I make no claim to be smarter than other people. I make no claim to be better than other people. I believe what I believe, but am always willing to hear a different point of view. I may sometimes find other people’s beliefs odd, or sometimes maybe even humorous, but I never deny them the right to believe what they want. […]

I am finally doing my Z post, only a week late. Oh well. I never was known for living according to schedules. But in the spirit of my Z post, I am going […]
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 […]
How do we justify? We always DO. Because I am to the LEFT, through and through? Or maybe others, they may cite, To the RIGHT is what is right. But between me and you, and maybe he and she … Is it possible that there might a middle road be? Could maybe a bit of RIGHT be wrong? […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the issues of coming up with crazy ideas, is that sometime the only one who truly understands the idea is the one who thought of it. That does not imply any superiority on the side of the thinker, rather a failure on their part to properly express their idea. I have a sense […]
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. To me, one of the most irritating things one person can say to another is” That is the way it is. There is nothing we can do about it.” Yes, learning to accept […]
