There is a certain level of depression I didn’t know until I realized I was waking up more than one morning of the week to some sort of story about American soldiers raping and murdering Iraqi people.

I go through complete newsfree moments of existance, I don’t listen to the radio or read the paper. I then counter thi by reading three papers, listening to the news constantly, reading letters to the editor (if you ever want to feel like the world is going straight to hell, letters to the editor are the place to start).

I guess what I’m saying is… you speak my mind. And it scares the shit out of me.

A capital idea, with or without a revolution.
I’m sure Thomas Paine would approve.

I think starting a revolution isn’t a bad idea…
I mean, but what will we throw into the water? Sabich? We can only start the revolution when we are able to locate what is the one thing that Israelis CANNOT live without, what will rock their world so drastically? Taking over the “KOHAV NOLAD” studios perhaps? Throwing Zvika Hadar into the sea?

I think Sun Tzu never met jewish people. We flurish on disagreements, being divided is part of the Jewish culture

heck, have you ever been to an average family dinner (with extended family, of course) that doesn’t look like a battle field after 30min?

You know the old proverb (forgive me for not quoting it word for word in its English form, this is a rough translation from Hebrew): Two jewish people, three opinions.

1. On a pirate ship?
2. Thanks I always feel pretty awkward and unsure when trying to convey something which isn’t wholy intellectual. I guess that’s why I quote a lot. That, and growing up in a pop-culture-iconographic home
3. True and effective civil disobedience is a remarkable phenomenon, where change is promoted by the free human spirit. Honest emancipation. What Hegel would call a rare event, on the cosmic scale.
Having said that… Say, you want to start a revolution?

Well, I have a few things to say:
1. You should go to finishing school.
2. You are a very bright lad, and it is really touching they way you write and stuff.
3. What Orwell wrote reminds me of what Todd Solondez writes in “Story Telling” the Scooby section: the scene where they talk about Holocaust Survivors, and that in fact if it weren’t for Hitler, then Grandma would have never come to America, she would have never met Grandpa, so in fact, if it weren’t for Hitler, we wouldn’t be here.
It is a funny way of thinking… and I see what he means, but I think it is manipulative to claim that there is only one way to play they game. You don’t need to bend the spoon, it is the mind that must be bent.
Civil disobedience is an example I think to the way you can change the game’s rules, or restart the game. throwing tea into water, sitting at a diner bar, refusing to pay your taxes… Imagining colours and shapes that don’t exist.
I don’t have belief that any government will be able to make a change, primarily because they have no interest. It is easier maintaining hostility toward the OTHER, because then you don’t have to take a deep look inside.
But, maybe it is enough to just have all the leaders if the world meet at a baseball field and fight it out with socks filled with horse shit.

Oh, believe me, I’m all for that. And let it be said here and now that I align myself firmly with the North.
Having said that, now is not the time. You don’t need to read Sun Tzu to know that a divided enemy is easy prey.

It’s all part of the survival of the stupidest

Biologically speaking (or should I say evolutionary speaking) conflict is part of the survival of the fittest. Whether its on food sources, water, herding lands, oil, ______ (whatever).

Perhaps, specifically speaking on Israel it is time, like Mr. Yishayahu Leibovich says, to have a civil war in Israel.

That might straighten things out here. Everyone else had one, so it is only fit for us to have one as well.
