***** To the point of almost unbearable isolation I scrupulously avoid inflicting the Life Path I follow upon anyone else. I follow the Path for the ultimate joy of it. I give my life to try and show the Path to others. But for many decades now, and increasingly, I pay an extreme personal price to avoid inflicting my path on anyone else.

***** Israel says (and what do YOU say?): 'The Elders’ advisory council are a who’s who of some of the most tenacious, anti-Israel public figures in the world today. The Elders’ anti-Israel statements and press releases condemning the Jewish state are a sad testament to this fact.' Jerusalem Post

Topping the Elders’ list is former US president Jimmy Carter, a man dedicated to the disgustingly fraudulent and anti-Semitic proposition that Israel is an apartheid state. Carter’s defamatory fabrications about the Jewish state include not only the lie that Israel is like apartheid South Africa but also that “voices from Jerusalem dominate our media.” Last year he claimed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t interested in making peace but said of Hamas arch-terrorist Khaled Mashaal, “I don’t believe that he’s a terrorist. He’s strongly in favor of the peace process.”...... http://m.jpost.com/Opinion/NO-HOLDS-BARRED-Whats-Richard-Bransons-problem-with-Israel-442758#article=6017NThBNTc2RDNDQzA0REMxRjlGQzEyREExNjJGMjNFMzk=

***** UN's Ban rejects Netanyahu's criticism: Count on me to speak up After causing storm in comments that Netanyahu said justify terror, UN says Ban stands by statement, with Ban adding that Palestinians watch as settlements 'expand and expand.'

To my friends who focus on every conceivable injustice: I will paraphrase the formative partner of Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, who harshly admonished Dorothy, early in her work, upon publication of her first newspaper edition of The Catholic Worker, 'whoever would serve everyone, serves no one.' She had put everything she had into that first paper, his words were crushing to her, she took them to heart, she never made the same mistake again. Focus is everything. Whoever stands for everything, stands for nothing.

We are painfully aware of how many people masquerade as Christians that are the exact opposite of being christ-like. The same phenomenon exists in so-called peace activism. It is a great place for people to hide for selfish reasons.

***** If the body's healing systems worked only at the brink of death, what would be the result? Death, right? Yet only at the very brink of utter disaster do we devote our lives to making peace... if even then. How the hell can we wonder at the results? War after war after plunder after atrocity..... and soon, annihilation. The health of the body is the result of every breath, every second, every instant constant mobilisation, devotion, dedication, commitment ... toward health and away from evil. And so is the only path to justice and peace on earth. How can we keep doing this to our children? How can we keep doing this to anyone's children? Yes, just watch us, one last time.  Denial is wonderful, no? Being cancer... is sooooooo pleasurable!

"At a time when millions of Americans cannot afford to purchase the prescription drugs they require, we need a leader at the FDA who is prepared to stand up to the drug companies," Sanders said on Tuesday. “Dr. Califf’s extensive ties to the pharmaceutical industry give me no reason to believe that he would make the FDA work for ordinary Americans, rather than just the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies."
