I was recently treated to a recital of the story that Jews were spared in the Twin Tower attack, right here in Toronto! Unlike you, I didn't have the patience for a debate, and just said, "F*** off!", which he and several others thought was 'extremely rude'...I guess it was...

Unfortunately Mal
Thinking logically is what some do not want to do. They like the subjective approach too much. Great post! I have a distinct advantage in that I don't look noticeably Jewish. So I have really been party to some outrageous comments. I do actually like the element of surprise. Especially when I do spring on the unsuspecting anti semite my religious affiliation.

Re: What a great blog Gap ... for those sick of poetry, here's your blog.
Thanks, Vickip. Just trying to make people stop and consider, that's all. Far too little of that these days. I always look forward to your photo-poetry (phoetry?) and click on as soon as I can!

"Just think it through, logically". How many times have you wanted to say that to someone? And, that's being kind. Don't you wish you could just shout at them "Just how stupid are you?"
Great post, as usual Mal.
(Looks like you've been busy travelling..........enjoying summer. Good for you.)

Great research. This is just profound... "
Of course, to hate mongering revisionists, reality and rationality just get in the way of a good conspiracy theory." My new favorite quote.
