9. I don't understand anti-semitism any better than I understand racism.

No one is born with hatred in their hearts. It takes a conscious, dedicated effort to get to that point. And why ? For what ? It benefits a man nothing to carry hatred in their minds. Mentally, it distorts and warps your view of life. Physically, it makes your body prone to illness and hypertension. Emotionally, it depresses the natural urges of people to form communities.

What possible utility is gained from such self-induced mental illness ?

I will never understand these people.

Maybe I'm just too old for this world. I was born in simpler times, to British parents, who lived through more difficult times than we have been faced with since the end of WWII.

Maybe I should change my 'Handle" to The Relic.
