Wayne, I disagree with your appraisal of the percentage of Jews who support Zionism (but let's not fight over it). My questions might be: Do they support Zionist excesses as well? Do they have or take any responsibility for what it has meant, and what it has done? Are they so ethnocentrically narcissistic as to believe they have a right to commandeer US domestic politics to their ends?
Today's question: Why doesn't Israel simply become the 51st state?
Answer: Because then they would only have Two Senators and 12 Congressional reps.
I think my religious and spiritual experience is already stated. My great-grandfather was a 32nd-degree chap. His son was the shop superintendent for Winchester Arms when they turned out a billion 30-caliber shells for the US Army and Navy for World War One. (I am still working off that ancestral karma.) I wonder if my high school English teacher somehow knew that when he taught me the poetry of Henry Reed and Wilfred Owen, or when he shunned me when I showed up 9 months after graduation in my pretend Green Beret uniform. I left the herd shortly thereafter. I know nothing of the Kabbalah. I know a little something of gnosis. I have had my share of mystical experience. My daughter chose to major in college in sociology because she wanted to know 'why people treated each other the way they do'. I don't think she discovered the answer to that question. Neither have I.
