I had the rather odd thought that American Men should marry Russian women, and American women should marry Russian men...
At least Russian women can drive a tractor and harvest potatoes. Most American women can’t do that.
However, my wife can really cook potatoes and I taught my daughter to drive at tractor at age 12. We were never on a kibbutz, but we like farming so but I guess I’ll have to create a new saying:
You can take a Jew out of the kibbutz or shtetl, but you can’t take the kibbutz/shtetl out of the Jew.
Interestingly, none of my Russian or Austrian grandparents lived in them either. They were city folk. Some left because of the pogroms that were just starting in Russia. A few left Austria for a new life in America (still under the Hapsburgs). The rest stayed and were killed in the Holocaust.
I’m so regular American that I bleed Red, White and Blue. And proud of it. I really hate those PC fools. They make life bland, fearful and rigid, just the opposite of what freedom should be.
Just rambling. It is late and I’m going home to get some dinner.
