Hal Johnson Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I appreciate the calm and thoughtful response BWM. I can get worked up, and it likely doesn't help my argument when I do (or make me any friends). So, cheers to toning it down a few notches.

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 one of the reasons I cut my earlier response was because I was getting too worked up. my wife won't let me talk to her about this anymore because of all of the negative energy created. i came to a profound conclusion recently. I can argue my points until I am blue in the face. But, those in power aren't actually listening to me, and it really makes no difference what I say. I say this after recently getting into a debate with some friends re this flotilla incident. in a nutshell, they thought that I was being way too hard on Israel and being way too much on the left. it was amazing how angry one person got with me and what I was saying. it was as if Netanyahu was going to somehow take my advice. I read a LOT of the Israeli Zionist left. but waver between what they say and those who say that any solution is hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if only you could work your neighbourhood into a frenzy over a shared garden or community currency...Is there anything you'd be willing to support rather than denounce?

Hal Johnson Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 this hits an almost absurd note at around the 5:13 mark, but the whole thing is worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
