Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 I just learned on NPR this evening that antisemeticism is becoming vogue in Europe now. Just when I thought we were evolving we are devolving. sorry, just sad. When did anti-semetism ever go out of vogue? It's always been under the surface around the world wherever Jews are. Everyone finds a reason to slam everyone else or hate or point fingers and condemn. Same tune, different time period, different 'country'. Like I've said...we could all be homogenized and look alike, live in the same houses with the same cars and have the same number of kids...identical and people would find a reason to separate and divide and hate. It's ridiculous. Nobody seems to learn tolerance and sensitivity except a very few who somehow we think...make it out of this plane to what we think is a better plane 'somewhere'. What if this is just a broken record that some highly evolved being forgot to fix like a videotape in the VCR that keeps playing and replaying for all time? What a trip.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hi Renee I really should learn to shut up and just allow the sniping without response. I'm sincerely interested in the origins. I just learned on NPR this evening that antisemeticism is becoming vogue in Europe now. Just when I thought we were evolving we are devolving. sorry, just sad. c - "Renee Serrano" <RSERRANO <gjlist> Wednesday, July 17, 2002 7:15 PM Re: [GJ] 17 July 1821 - Andy Jackson Takes Charge > Sure seems like shades of the esoteric list around the WTC, eh Cynthia? > > Renee > > >>> c.a.novak 07/17/02 11:09AM >>> > Nadia > > Why do you hate America and American's so? > > c > > - > "Nadia" <nadiak > <gjlist> > Wednesday, July 17, 2002 12:56 PM > [GJ] 17 July 1821 - Andy Jackson Takes Charge > > > > > > How strange.
