1. First they should pay the American taxpayer. This is very wrong.

2. I think we have a disconnect here
Edited on Sun Oct-09-05 12:49 PM by Coastie for Truth
I am an American Red Cross Volunteer (Mass Sheltering, and Disaster Assistance, and Refugee Relocation/Housing), and a Veteran of the United States Coast Guard (Captain of the Port Office, Port of New Orleans, LA), and I was raised in a faith based family where I was taught that Tsdakah is a Mitzvah.

And I was socialized to the United States Coast Guard norm - "They pay you to go out --- not to come back empty handed -- read your enlistment contract."

I was also taught by my parents (my Father of Blessed Memory) and my grandparents (of Blessed Memory) that Tsdakah is a characteristic of Good Democrats.

During this Penitential Season, I do not understand your append. Maybe you can convince me.

7. That's very gracious of Israel.
People need to forget politics at times like these.
