So few voters!<BR/><BR/>Let alone, what represents the outcome. The taxpayer pot isn't big enough to fix all the "pot holes." To fix what went bad. To fix the school system, where now the yeshivot are finally in a pickle.<BR/><BR/>What sort of pickle? Donations are down. Survival, when you teach men NOT to work; has a tsunami force all its own.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I did see a story by Ben Caleb, in the Jerusalem Post. About how the school he took his children to (secular), was beset with road blocks. ANd, other inconveniences. This school just got turned over, however, to the Haredi. And, guess what? The road blocks were carted off.<BR/><BR/>Much too late.<BR/><BR/>Back in Roman times Jerusalen suffered such a terrible fate. Due to extremists.<BR/><BR/>All that's left (after the fires, and the deaths to so many inhabitants; given how angry the Romans became) ... is that Western piece of a wall. Too bad not enough people read Josephus.<BR/><BR/>Too bad, given that destruction comes from a lack of maintenance; how this city has really suffered.<BR/><BR/>Ahead, for Judaism, I wish for Spinoza. And, Martin Buber. And, Einstein. Europe couldn't keep the Great minds of Judaism down.<BR/><BR/>Now? Where are the great minds?<BR/><BR/>It's not going to matter who "wins" today's election. <BR/><BR/>You're looking for a door key, the way an ancient king was looking for a nail for his horse's horse-shoe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
