Israel has had a ring through this government's nose for 50 years, and it has bought us nothing but trouble. Sadly most people are still too scared to see it.

Try and point this out and you are immediately some "islamofascist butt kissing traitor of a..." well it causes people to go into a no-think rage that just make me shake my head. In truth, Israel is no more our friend than... I was going to say Iran, but at least in Iran, the people still like us, regardless of its government, and ours.

Maybe I am extending the wrong hand, or I'm the wrong guy, but its beginning to look like these "benign eyes" are going to stand there and watch us go over the falls, because to do more would just seem like "bad manners" (very British of them, I know, but perhaps something more direct might be called for. Perhaps something just short of overt ).

Correct me if I am wrong, Barry, But if these "benign eyes" are who I think they might possibly be, or in relation to the history of beings I am familiar with..... for them to step in and help, give us "gifts" without us being "grown up" as a society, or conditioned enough to handle these gifts, would destroy ourselves, physically, psychologically, and emotionally, personally as well as a civilization. If you think of it. I'm sure everyone knows of someone that if they had the "gift" or mental ability, that in a moments notice, everyone around that person would drop dead simply because they flew off the handle and couldn't control their own thoughts because of their emotions.

He heh. Generally someone I don't like gets 2000yds from me, and I gladly walk away with a "good riddance" on my breath. Though lack of practice has me off my form the last couple years, I felt pretty good if I could put two holes in your shirt pocket at 50 ft. (the approximate distance to the edge of my property), with any pistol I own. Form follows function, I guess.

Anyway, short comment, and a note to wish you and yours continued best, and better,

Fred
