Thanks for your like of my comment, Connie. I am sincerely in your corner for this one and most of what you do. And I pray you appreciate how two people can be deeply in step in some issues and widely divergent in others, and yet not lose their respect or regard for one another. We absolutely must stand resolutely against monolithic thinking, and following that stance to a reasonable end is rejecting the idea that all Blacks or all those who resist the Progressive label must unreservedly approve Israel's treatment of Palestinians. I know that Jake and Dumisani would have us march in step, but I harbor hope for those of us the idealogues would seek to influence.
Please allow these few score words that are not mine:
"Israel... I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth." (Isaiah 49)
"Hear this word, O children of Israel... You alone have I favored, more than all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your crimes." (Amos 3)
"Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?'
He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones,
Wonderful idea. Please contact me regarding distribution of preschool books on your list. Jeanette jburrage@aol.com. I have 75 of them at my house ready to go.

Looking forward to learn from you all.
