The name of the blog says it all, really. My take on interesting stuff + useful re-posts :-)
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are" - Anais Nin
It's the thin line between reality and fantasy. It's the thin line between sanity and madness. It's the crazy things that make us think, laugh and scream in the dark.

Thank you, Yolly. I am with you; I am tired of the bullshit and lack of action while the children die and PM Netanyahu continues his role as Adolf Hitler murdering those he thinks unsuitable for life. That said, I have shared this with everyone I know.

I am being very careful not to pick sides in the piece, though, George. I am well aware of your scepticism about Israel’s motives, and I do not seek to be relativist about apportioning blame for the current debacle, but the leadership of both parties have failed their people. A rocket killing or maiming an Israeli child, fired indiscriminately, is just as wicked as a tank round hitting a UN school. The big politics can wait: nothing – nothing – justifies slaughtering children. The Israelis have done plenty of it, but so too have Hamas and others. I am not picking sides. I am on the side of the children.
