Re: I miss the darkness
i miss the darkness, too. here's part of a story that talks about this subject (written ten or more years ago): "(...) I go outside to get the milk from the farm. It is dark.

Re: Comparing Middle East situation to Native American situa
kurt - how does it hold the rest of us in limbo? how does it affect you and me other than by making us think and talk about it? and also, as i've said before, in my opinion this conflict is not about god but about identity and territory. for some, religion is a part of their identity - for others, i...

Re: Comparing Middle East situation to Native American situa
and p.s.: maybe what i would wish for is that you ( and others) were not only shouting out how wrong the current situation for the palestinians is (which is is! no doubt about that!!!). i would also like to hear you shout out about how wrong the present situation for israelis is - how it seems impos...

again, i totally agree.Doreen Peri wrote: I'll repeat that both sides who have engaged in violence are WRONG. Both sides have blood on their hands. I believe this because I believe war is wrong. Violence is wrong. I'm a pacifist. I can't help it. I stand by my ideals.

So, I decide to BELIEVE it. i totally agree with you, doreen. and i wasn't specifically referring to you in my previous post. it is a general problem that too many people express t...

Yes, they've simplified it some, however, there is a LOT of information on that site and many links to explore. There's a lot of history presented and I like the site a lot. doreen - ...
