Fay stick to your guns both ways. The same teaching that gets you accused of "Pro-Israel" propaganda in Egypt could get you accused of "anti-semitism" (or in my case being a "self-hating Jew") in the U.S.
I won't get further into the argument - just mention that what Cindy said was not so cut and dried is itself not so cut and dried;some of those points expounded historical views well to right of the position Begin has publicly taken on those historical issues. But we tend to get a very one-sideed view of the whole situation here in the United States.
Cindy, if you want another view read Noam Chomsky's Iron triangle or some of the work of the late Edward Said. Yes, I know beyond the pale, appalling horrible people is the standard view in the U.S. But Chomksy is, and Said was a brilliant scholar. They document every thing they say, and make humane and logical arguments.
[ouring rain. driving home from berkeley in the rain. It so shouldn't be happening in may
I hear we are going to get rain and thunderstorms tomorrow too, Beth.
Ugh.
rain is wrong. now, we did go see john renborn with deb and nic. - and there was the singing of 'Cruel sister" by those people on the stage- after Deb talkjed to them and gave them "famous flower" so that part was extra fun. but we were having winter rain - raining so hard you can't see road. and it is makeing the cranky key up again.
The doctor has me on the highest does of advair, plus singular, plus abutreal. - luckily I don't get the shakey hands and pounding heart. but my low level anixiety and crankiness - and reached way high stress and rage levels. I can't tell if it because I am sure of how sick I am , because I am tired of being sick , or because I have so many drugs in my system ( add bc pill, 1 for diabetes , and 1 for cholesteral). I'm takeing all opinions on this debate.
Timelies!
It's the last week of classes. Yay! Just two more days to get through...
Sorry vw, the Apocalypse is tomorrow. No biscuit for you.
Oh, don't even *joke* about that! I've worked too hard. I deserve my iPod dammit!
It's just a tiny Apocalypse. I'm sure the iPods will survive. Especially the ones in socks.
vw, have you picked out an engraving yet? I didn't have any ideas, but I think this particular iPod deserves to engraved with something. You have worked so hard for it and I'm thrilled that it is so close. I'm sure being done with classes will feel great too.
Stephanie, I'm starting to lean towards "vw: the bug that could" and then my cell phone number on line two. I still haven't totally decided...
And thanks!
