Thank God for George Washington and the founding fathers other wise we might have wound up living on Canadian soil with universal health care instead of American soil, in the land of the rugged individualists.

but so far this land has been good for my family

I am a Jew without a home
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Philip_Roth

I am the refuse of teeming shores, a first generation child born in a promised land. An American Jew. But my grandparents thought this was as close as they could get to the promised land, even after 1948.

America the violent
We got so many shooters here, so many crazy children with guns and bombs
But we are winning the war on terror.

I listened to an interview of parents of mass murderers, one mother said she did everything right raising her son, they went to church every sunday, he was not her fault.




what were we talking about

oh yeah, slavery
we have the best government money can buy I guess
in the meantime
you got so many people coming home strung out on combat. I wonder how many homeless veterans there are in Canada or Israel. None I hope.

Is that any thing knew/new in how we treat our veterans?

Good news, some good knews if I knew some good news I would tell you,
I wish this election was over. I am so tired of looking at them.

Gabby Douglas, Yeah hell yeah she cheers me up so I leave you with the best thoughts I have for the young americans Gabby Douglas

.. the belly button, the navel, is the most telling thing about us ...

as you were saying
Ikkyu, had not thought of him in a long time
how could I forget about belly buttons.

I read somewhere that there is a lizard that has a belly button too. I guess that explains Mitt.

I'm not a Jew - least I don't think I am -but that doesn't make it any easier to find a home - we are all surrounded from the moment of birth to the death rattle by the transient -

syntax is everyone's dog - the bones need stroked -the brain is oxygen pig - twenty-six letters is all it takes the rake casts its own shadow - seashells are taken back to camp turned sometimes into beads - the gov't is no business of mine it was not born with me & it won't die with me - the guy who came up with this shit has an arrow in his eye press "play" & his wife offered to take apart my keyboard to fix it but at the last moment i remembered that before the Indian had horses he had dogs and the only sure thing is all history began with the invention of tits.

It was not really Charlie Chan who said that nor Mae West either.

I had a dog named syntax, he was always biting me in the ass.

You talked about new Jews once, I supposed you meant Christians. I wish them well, I have heard that they think they are better better Jews than the old Jews. Seems to me that the zeolots among them believe Nietzsche's sister's husband was right, G d choose the Jews to bring the Messiah into the world because He wanted Him to be born among the most despicable people on earth.


I have often wondered why anybody would choose to be a Jew in 19th century Poland. When I saw John Lee Peddimore, I saw Tinkerjack in disguise.

Hold the fort on all this Jack - i'll get to it but not tonight.

[the mingo]

Jack - i used the term "new Jew" in the sense that the children of God are one of the results of God's redemptive aim in history - which began to unfold with the calling of the Jews by Moses out of Egypt. Well, before that actually, as the Scripture reveals. That calling prefigured what was to be the positional experience of every born again believer since the period of Jesus's time here. If you hear a "Christian" in any way boasting of this then that Christian does not understand the central thrust of all Scripture or the word of his King. The Christian does not choose God - God chooses the Christian as Scripture relates. Jesus said the same to his disciples - "You did not choose me but I chose you..." in the same way that the Jews did not choose God but He them. Man does not, indeed cannot, come to God. God must call him first, and the call of the Lord God, the Mighty One of Israel, is irrevocable, for God demonstrates his sovereignty in all things. For the believer the gift of the Holy Spirit is not a reward - for out of his own efforts he will never deserve it - as shown by the Jew's experience of trying to obey the Law, for no one ever could ... the Law, the Ten Commandments, in fact were given to show that no human being, born of the flesh, could, out of his own power, obey it. It was given, as all the things that come from the hand of God, to open man's eyes to the truth of his condition - to bring light.

So my use of the term "new Jew" was a bit flippant in the sense that, while it points to a bit of truth, the whole truth is much much deeper and much more majestic.

I deeply apologize for my sometimes careless use of terms. For me, the present day nation-state of Israel is not of importance except perhaps as a point of eschatology in the progression of things towards the culmination of history - my destination, by the grace of the Lord God, and His Son, Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit is the Kingdom of His Son - a Kingdom prepared for all the children of God from before the foundation of the world.

Thank You Mingo.

I would be honored to hold the fort for you.

Dear Jan

Took the hound for a walk down in the woods - lost my glasses down in there somewhere.
Passing thunderstorms last night - everything is wet - water droplets on every leaf - every stone - every fallen branch. I don't think fire would be possible in the woods today even with a flamethrower. Discovered a new musical group this morning - I bet there is some kind of music where I hope you are - you never say.

You would fit right in the ceremonies for the Day of the Dead - I can imagine it so may ways - with those twangy guitars in the background & those sugar skulls - I went to a museum once out on the coast and there was this sculpture dedicated or inspired by Day of the Dead. It was in this big glass case - I stepped closer to the case drawn by the unknown artist's vision - then a voice behind me said "Step back from the case" ... I turned around to see a guard, the source of the voice, and did as I was told - the skulls of the sculpture grinning at me - I left there then - out to the parking lot and my '67 Barracuda - fired her up and headed up the coast. Fifty miles further on I stood next to the ocean drawn by an unknown artist's vision but this time no voice came from behind saying "Step away from the case, Sir" because here no money was involved and so no fear -

Gonna make a bit of breakfast - even warm bread makes me miss you no less -

eschatology
If I had the time I would like to learn how to read Greek and Hebrew.


Going to be 102 degrees hot today, dog days. trying to imagine what it would like to be a dog.

I did not think you were being flip, I thought you were being truthful. Sorry if I sounded like I was accusing you of anything. But I see how it could be taken that way.
I was trying to forget about words. I wonder who I hear when I am typing in one of these text boxes. Seems like I am taking dictation from someone.


I used to have a book that compared the Greek And Hebrew concepts of time.
I read somewhere— maybe in that book— that Greeks invented a science of history and Jews invented a historical religion

Wish I was on that boat today, any day.

reminds me of the Lyle Lovett song "If I Had a Boat" - blocks of text - building blocks - Lego blocks! - I love Lego blocks! Clams got Legos! Nancy is off running errands and the hound is sad - she didn't take him with her & ow he is sad - I mean he's got me but who am I when he rather be riding around with Nancy in the Cherokee? - watched something last night on the history of the people of Appalachia - learned some things.
