Solar Schenanigans
This is a very interesting video. Somehow a large sphere showed up next to the sun right in the middle of a solar prominence. How did this happen? No one knows.
Gilhad Atzmon
Last night I had the honor of attending a powerful talk by author-activist and musician, Gilhad Atzmon at the Peace House in Washington, D.C. It was an electrifying presentation; all of us hanging on his every word. He said some things that made me think of the Israel and Zionism as well as the problems in Palestine. Although I didn’t take notes, Gilhad made several interesting points.
He talked about the significance and impact of political correctness on free speech. He talked about the difference between a Jewish state and a Zionist state and about the insularity of the Jewish culture. And he talked about the similarities between the fascism of Nazi Germany and the State of Israel. Most importantly, he talked about why it is impossible to support human rights and justice half a world away in a foreign land in the Mideast, like Palestine, or in Africa when people don’t know even know their neighbors or the people in their community. Pet protests and causes do nothing to really help when you don’t care about the human beings around you.

I have been thinking about this article ever since I read it more than a year ago. Someone shared it with me today on Face Book and I am very happy to have rediscovered it and post it here.
