well, I didn’t say he was a bad Jewish person.
He could be a very good Jewish person. Just naive.
I know a lot of very good and very naive Christian and Jewish people.
I find myself hoping so much for something to be true that i have to come here and read all the evidence against said thing to remind me.
Like there’s hope for minority men, like some sign obama doesn’t completely hate the country, etc.
FR is like a bucket of cold water to wake you up from a drunk :)
“well, I didn’t say he was a bad Jewish person.

While you could be right, the fact that he’s been “a socialist” ( actually a full-blown Communist as I see it) all his life, I find it difficult to chalk it up to just being naive. He’s spent time in the Soviet Union and I think he probably doesn’t espouse anything remotely approaching Judiaism.
Like you, I hope for meaningful change to happen that helps us all, not just the few who have the means to try and buy influence. And I keep hoping that somehow we can supplant the “free lunch” with “unbridled opportunity for all.” Unfortunately, our education system has been working at crossed purposes for those changes to occur for so long that it may be impossible, short of another Great Depression or a revolution to fix it.
