But I share your disappointment with Israel and the official religious oppression it practices. I think if you want to follow a religion on your own time and in your own terms that's just basic liberty, but when you start telling other people what they can or cannot do that's the opposite of liberty and that's BAD. I am constantly disappointed at the US's choices in which nations we support and provide aid to. To me, rule one should be liberty: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press. If you don't have these, what the heck is the US doing sending money, food, guns and goodwill for?<br /><br />Hopefully more progressive Jews will one day prevail in Israel and overturn nonsensical sexist laws. It's a well known fact that Jews in America have been at the forefront in defending freedom here. It can be done.<br /><br />Peace,<br /><br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248664089124106737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19896356.post-55500194691061496152009-11-20T20:30:41.375-06:002009-11-20T20:30:41.375-06:00That last quote from Gbitch makes a fantastic poin...That last quote from Gbitch makes a fantastic point.
