Now you did it.

Q: What did I do?
A: You fucking confused the readers.
Q: I suppose I did in a way. I know you understand what I'm saying.
A: Yes, I understand. Maybe I should try this in another way?
Q: You're asking me?
A: Alright, let me put it this way, I think it comes down to "Wholeness".
Q: Oh christ, another one of those.
A: No, really, think about it, "being" is really a fleeting thing. It is.
Q: I hope you're not going to ask that crap about "how do you know you're you behind your own eyes?'" again.
A: No. Not that. It's kind of like that. Of course as you already know I have a leg up on Time.

I like you. You are unique. Keep up doin' what ya doin'. Screw the man !

First and foremost, it goes without saying, you're a human being. That game has been played, though. If you've read American history you might know of an interesting little factoid learned during the the white conquest of the indigenous people here. Their tribal names all translate into "the human beings". Whether you be Sioux or CHerokee or Blackfoot or Apache... "Manifest Destiny" defeated the "Human Beings" is one way to look at it.

So, yes, you are doing an educational service with what you post, but the implication I think you are providing as well is as old as the hills themselves: Us vs. Them.

Who was the us and who was the them in this implication?

I meant that people usually are pro-palestine or pro-isreal. I agree with Abook about America getting it's military funds out of Israel...in fact, if anything, America should be ignoring that region altogether. Out of the middle east forever. There's nothing there for us.
