Yes, Drew, lots of research, and then when we get our answer, who can we tell? Who cares? Will it change what Congress does? My mind goes back to an early exchange with a Vietnam veteran (Army medic) whose third wife I became. Richard Wayne Routh grew up with Fundamentalist Bible study and good hard-working folks. He told me his folks taught him: “The Jews are God’s chosen people don’t eff with the Jews!” Yes. And yes, but! I’ve been to Israel. It looks like my home state of California. California is 163,696 square miles; Israel is 10,175 square miles. Does anybody know where the Biblical Promised Land was? I don’t. When you visit, the guide tells long stories about the struggles. Well, look into what happened just after WWII when the big boys were dividing up the spoils. One story is that the Palestinians were told to pack up and get out! A Brit named Baldwin had something to do with this. It looks to me like the Jews stole that patch of land! And I don’t dare say that many places. But I’ve seen Dachau in person; I stared at horrendous pictures in Life magazine; I read the books. I lived in Germany and worked beside new Nazis in this country. Not “neo-Nazis” but German-Americans who still carry the nastiness Germans displayed nearly a century ago. They are described in my book about 30 years in San Francisco. For now, I’m backing off and trying to shower, do laundry and pay rent. So I don’t get in trubble. And then how to stay content and walk my walk. I got a new stove this week! Time for cookies, muffins, gingerbread! A favorite Christian Science hymn by Mary Baker Eddy says: “The arrows that wound the dove dart not from those that watch and love.”
