I remember visitin...Nicely put and succinct quote.<br /><br />I remember visiting the States shortly after Germany was ordered to pay relatives of those who were used as slave laborers during the Nazi regime. My family was salivating to find out from me if those "German bastards" were finally feeling the pain of retribution. I reminded them that the court case was a precedent soon to be used by African Americans seeking retribution for their slave labor...wow I've never seen such a hostile response - my aunt didn't talk to me for 5 years over that remark. <br /><br />Demonize/Sympathize - these seem to be the extremes in which we Americans are trained to categorize our neighbors. But which will it be this time - such a quandry, can we hate the Muslims and Jews at the same time? It all depends on how it is pre-packaged and spoon fed to us. <br /><br />Poor Jimmy with nothing to lose, - eradicating diseases left and right, monitoring elections - it's as if he's been doing penance for the sin of being President. He's the only one who has the right to say, "I've seen both sides firsthand". Rich, poor, powerful, weak. <br /><br />Doesn't anyone remember that he is an evangelical? But even this does not persuade him from his fair evaluation. Does no one remember his 1985 book, "The Blood of Abraham"? <br /><br />He truly has no greater motivation than the betterment of humanity - face it, he can't get the Nobel again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
