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...
